  Sales Consultant

  I worked as a sales consultant with little experience, just after graduating from high school. The gap year dedicated to sales outsourcing gave me the first sight of what work looks like before going to the university. I successfully completed the training quickly breaking the sales records within my team. After that, I decided to start my studies and use all the experience I gained in social activities at the university and later occasionally in localization market.
