With a strong background in field construction coordination, sales, and customer relationship management, I bring a diverse skill set and a passion for delivering exceptional results. With my previous experience, I like to highlight some of the following tasks: 

  • My proficiency in maintaining budgets, managing inventory, and utilizing CRM systems has contributed to efficient operations and client satisfaction.
  • Leveraged CRM programs and built strong relationships with customers to understand their needs.
  • Problem-solving, inventory and supply management, proficiency in CRM and ERP systems, and expertise in the Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Successfully managed personnel, reviewed timecards, and handled other administrative duties.
  • Effectively manage and organize schedules, appointments, and meetings.
  • Coordinating projects, streamlining processes, and optimizing organizational efficiency.

Currently, I am located on the East Coast of the United States, splitting my time between Charlotte, NC and Baltimore, MD. 

 

When it comes to inspiration, I find it in various forms. From influential figures who have made a significant impact in their respective fields to my family and friends who demonstrate resilience and kindness, I am continually inspired by power of determination I see in those I surround myself with. Their stories remind me of the limitless possibilities that exist when passion, dedication, and a strong sense of purpose converge.

 

As I dive into this community, my primary goal is to learn and grow through the invaluable knowledge and experiences shared by other members. I am eager to gain insights and perspectives from diverse professionals and expand my understanding of remote freelancing work while sharpening my skills with the administrative and project management relms.

 

Thank you for welcoming me into this community, and I anticipate the exciting journey ahead!

Hi all. My name is Anoushae and I am a Psychology student located in Pakistan. Although I am just a student but have past practice of management, advisory, assistance, and most of all writing. Moreover, I can be quite helpful in work related to Psychology be it coaching, conselling, or even generally anything, along with which I also think of ghostwriting to be amazing. I am here on this forum to learn and gain experience for the practical life ahead so I look forward to be taught and advised by more skilled peers present here to guide me towards enhancemnt and improvement in life. Not only that but I would gladly help anyone of the peers in need. I don't really have a specific inspiration but just the crave for self-satisfaction, improvement and being financially independent. If anyone wants to interpret it as anyone having all those traits then be it, for I am inspired or pushed by thetraits and positive open mindset that can help people acheive anything in life.

Hi Everyone,

I'm April from the Philippines. I have more than four years of customer service and technical support in the business process outsourcing industry. I was also a subject matter expert and product trainer of the previous account I handled in BPO.

I am new to freelancing and hoping to get some tips and tricks from this community. I would like to pursue a career in this industry to have more flexibility and achieve work-life balance. 

I have been doing my online research about being a freelancer and I am mindblown by the stories from members of this industry. I have the basic skills and am willing to learn more to excel in this career. 

 

Cheers!
