You get to take the credit for all your hard work and its a personal gain that drives it forward. What was your worst working experience? Working in a supermarket, I have never been out of work and I would work at anything in younger days other than be unemployed and working on a checkout was just so mind boring, unmotivating and a means to something better What is the most important lesson you have learnt throughout your career? To strive to meet my own goals. Life is set on targets and reaching them is the highest feeling. I learnt to listen, to learn and to improve all my abilities (never to old to learn).

Customer service I have learnt in the past how to remain calm, let the other person speak and evaluate then comment. And uniquely I am very hard working and strive for personal goals. What would you consider as your 'dream job'? Difficult question as I have many dreams, but dreams are just that dreams and in reality I would love a job where I can excell at what im doing, where I can reach targets set and where I go home at the end of the day looking forward to the next. What are the most interesting aspects of your field? I love the thrill of the sale or the appointment on the telephone confirming. The chance to sell myself and company to a prospective cumstomer and close the deal. To be able to train youngster to strive for their goals. What are the least interesting aspects of your field? Letting the one slip away. Not enough hours in a day and missing that target by a margin. What if any downfalls do you have? At present only downfall I can see is not speaking Dutch due to only recently moving to the area, however I have enrolled onto a crash course to learn so this question will be very difficult to answer.
