Getting a Job

As I scavenged the web in search of the ultimate job (not really), I came across an ad from Certified Payment Processing.  The ad stated in big bold letters that it was looking for people who have strong character and are strong willed to be sales representatives for their company.  As I kept reading, CPP also stated that their sales representatives could earn as much as 100k a year if they were successful in the business which immediately caught my eye.  Here are the reasons why I believe I would be a great asset to the company.

1.) Strong character and will are pretty much the two main things the military instills in you since day one.  I have gone through several military training sessions, and despite whatever they are actually teaching you, the underlying lesson is teaching you to have a strong will.  As for the strong character, you can thank my parents for that as it is a natural trait in my personality.  Some people call it cockiness, but I prefer to address it as extremely confident.

2.) I am decently good at convincing people.  Once again, the way the military works is by influencing people who don't want to do a certain task that they should do that task because they want to, and not because you are telling them to.  With that being said, I am currently in charge of roughly 60 people, and I practice these skills on a regular basis.  To add on to that, I am a recruiter for the Corps of Cadets, so my job is literally to convince people to join an organization that is known for restricting your freedoms and happiness.  Now that takes talent.

3.) The add stated that being bi-lingual was a plus.  I've been speaking Spanish longer than I have spoken English.  I have mastered both languages and can effectively communicate, write, and read both of them.  Coming from parents that were born in Mexico, but being raised in the United States has given me the opportunity to understand both cultures, therefore being able to talk to a wider audience.

This is why I believe I would be an effective sales representative for Certified Payment Processing.
