PCC
I am unusually well organized and adept at devising systems, which helps me stay on top of projects and plan events. My supervisors have consistently recognized my org skills and looked to me to help the team remain on schedule. For example, last year we offered a conference to customers to educate them on our new product line, and I orchestrated the entire event. I was proud of the reviews it received.
Something that distinguishes me from many other salespeople is my ability to connect with clients on a human level from the outset, making them feel comfortable and uncovering all their pressing needs around my product. From there, I can present my product conversationally, in light of their needs. I attribute this skill in large part to my gift for small talk to "warm-up" customers, as well as my genuine interest in the sports and news topics of the day.
I have an intense curiosity about the world around me, which I convey to my students, and I cultivate excitement about learning new things, especially in science. For example, I developed a unit about the weather and shared my fascination with different types of clouds and the relationship between cloud types and weather patterns. Several of my students were so inspired by this that they asked whether we could meet after class for a weather club.
