I believe that a switchboard operator is the client s first contact with the company and wish to contribute to this vitally positive impression. Working in the Commercial Claims department as from the beginning of 2008 as also added value to me as a person and giving an enjoyable service to a client always brings me joy. I'm, looking for a salary of R15 000. I'm a hard worker and always give my best, I have 13 years experience and will be a asset to any company that I work for, I would like to help others to strive and become the best in whatever they do. I have great ambitions and one of them is to become a manager of a switchboard department to give back all the knowledge and experience I gained over the years. 4
I believe that any challenge that comes along is a growth tool that we can one day use to teach others to be the best in whatever they take on in life. We must be proud of ourselves and always be our best. 5
