Self-management. I handle to get to work on time.

I can also manage my time to have


my work done.
Willingness to learn. I like to learn new things and a can do it quicly.
Resilience. When someone gets angry, I maintain my cool and I don't get angry
easily.

I remember working for a local travel agency as a graphic designer. It was one of
my first jobs, so I was a little nervious. I could handle to do a great work. Then
I was told we were going to make a magazine. It was something new to me. I had to
learn new software and I invested a lot of time to get things ready. When the
magazine was released I felt really proud of it.

I consider one of my biggest traits is my capacity to learn something new and


difficult quickly. So, if the company hires me and then assgins me to do a task I
am familiarized with, I will do my best to have the work done as best as possible.
And if I am not really good at it, I will try my best to learn whatever is
necessary to complete the duty accurately.

I am most experienced in graphic desgine and translating text from Spanish to


English and vice versa. I'm also good at using spreadsheets, specially Excel.

I have least experience working directly with customers. I am not good at calling
clients and I have lack of experience making sells by e-mail and telephone.

I am interested in this kind of job because I think I can make use of the skills I
have learned through the years. I also see it as an opportunity to link with North
American companies and thus I can take advantage of English language. In addittion,
working virtually would be more comfortable to me.

I would like to learn to collaborate with different kind of people and learn from
their knowledge and experience. I would like to improve my communication skills as
well. In addition, I am interested in learning more computer science stuff.

When I am not working, I usually play some music I like, grab my guitar and play it
while listening to the song. If there is a song I like but I cannot play it on the
guitar, I try to learn it.
