I'm qualified for this position because of my knowledge of both psychology and business through my degree. I understand how to effectively communicate with others and know the importance Red Bull places on selling their brand. Being able to sell customers first on the Red Bull brand of excitement, pushing yourself, and "finding your wings" is extremely important and I'm confident in my ability to do that as I share a lot of similar values with Red Bull.
