I have loads of experience with documentation through my time in accounts payable. I worked at a high-end interior design company, so the invoices that came across my desk were very high dollar amounts. It was always extremely important to record everything with clarity and accuracy so that the business could run smoothly. In regards to organization, I have always been a folder and label person. Whether that be sticky notes, brief instructions, or just writing down as much information as possible for the next person, I am always ensuring that whoever needs to assist with the matter at hand next has everything that they need ready to roll.

In prior employment as a teleservice agent, it was beneficial to have any prior caller accounts off the screen before the next call came in. It was equally important for me to have all call logging completed for that particular customer/caller before their call was completed. This practice helped me to remain organized, concise, and steadily moving through calls.
