Hello Career Tools Community!
Allow me to provide some background about myself:
Currently, I am a financial healthcare consultant with hospitality and sales experience. For the last 4 years, I have been leading teams (3-8 people) in financial reviews and consulting projects, acting as the main point of communication between the firm, my client, and my team, as well as managing the career development of my associates. I have also lead large teams (15+) within the Junior League and have most recently been asked to chair one of our biggest fundraisers, by guiding a team of 70 women to raise over $200K for our community programs.
I am interested in leaving the my current position to focus on what I enjoy doing, and what I am good at; namely coaching, recruiting, and training people on how to exceed the expectations of their internal and external customers. I am an enthusiastic people person who thrives on face to face interaction, and enjoys teaching people how to provide excellent service. If you are able to provide me some pointers on how I can better position myself for a people focused position that is above entry level, I would love your guidance. I would be happy to provide my resume or any other additional information you may need. I have listened to the Career Tools Interview Series, and would appreciate the expertise of this forum to help me further. (I also cannot figure out how to attach a document to this post, so if you know how to do that I'd love to learn!)
With gratitude,
Noelle Sprunger
