Progression

As stated in my last post, I went from being a sales rep at a clothing store to an account specialist at Safeguard Business Solutions. If you're wondering how I got to this point, it was through a friend of the family who needed a translator. Upon writing my first resume, I wasn't aware of all that was needed, so I didn't know to put of my second language until my darling mother gave me her assistance.
I began as a translator for a certain project last May right after the semester ended. After a couple of months, I had become accustomed to more works that the company provided (i.e. accounting services, setting up corps., providing merchant accounts and processing services). My supervisor and boss called me in for a meeting, and at the time I was much more than a translator. I pulled in quite a few accounts and assisted coworkers with their projects. With that being said, my overseers saw the potential in me, despite my young age, to become an account specialist. I was comfortable with this title because I wasn't taking on full projects alone, but assisted our clients with any questions or concerns, as well as my coworkers. There was still time for me to learn as well as do my job.
The best part is that this overall experience can be added to my resume and I can sit back and witness how much I've grown. It only makes me more excited for the future.
