"I have four years experience working as a volunteer teacher's assistant. After spending a great deal of time volunteering in the school system, I knew that I wanted to work in it full time. I applied at my kids' school for the attendance clerk role and have been performing well in this function ever since."

I have not worked in the school system; however, I chair a community in my children's school. I also have a lot of customer service experience, and I am confident I can apply that experience to this position.
Rachelle's Feedback
Your experience as a chair in your child's' school community is fantastic exposure to a school-based environment. I encourage you to expand on this experience and what it has taught you about the inner workings of a school system. How will this experience help you to succeed as an Attendance Clerk?
