"I would consider my technical skills in the sales field as very sound. I have experience working on a few customer relationship management programs, as well as ordering and inventory systems. I've always been very fluent in learning new programs and can use them efficiently and effectively. I also take pride in learning about the products I sell and the technology buried in those products. There have been countless times that I have been on a sales call where I've taught customers about my products or helped troubleshoot issues while I was onsite. Doing this provided great customer service and saved a lot of time and resources for my organization, and I'd make it my mission to become well versed on the Philips Healthcare product line I would be working with in this role."

"I have developed many skills during my training and experience as an electrical engineer, including measuring instrumentation, power transmission devices, circuit design, and many others. In looking to transition from the GPS industry to the medical device industry, I fully realize that there would be a learning curve to learn the systems and technologies used in the great devices made by Philips Healthcare. If hired for this position, my priority would be dedicated time to learning all I could about the products and systems I would be working with."
