"From what I understand about this role in Client Services with Prudential Financial, my day-to-day work will include a lot of client interactions. It feels like they wrote the job description with my skills and abilities in mind. But the thing that will set me apart for this role is my experience in sales. I spent five years of my working career in the retail sales industry. I have developed key skills, like product knowledge and selling skills, that would benefit this role."
