In eight months, I was promoted to lead vault of operation and a year later to a personal banker. I had to resign a little later own as my school schedule got tighter. As a personal banker, my duties shifted to client account management, sale, and representation of bank services. I also engaged in the recommendation of products, client referrals to in-house financial experts if deemed necessary, document preparation and account verification if requested by the client. I even performed administrative responsibilities, e.g. data entry and resolved client complaints. All these duties enabled me to sharpen the skills I already possessed, and also added new skills such as negotiation, multi-tasking, sales, and time-management.
I have recently received my degree in Law Enforcement Technology and begun working as an admitting clerk at a hospital. As an admitting clerk, I am required to courteously greet patients, interact with them in a bid to get information from them for registration purposes. I also do insurance verification, document preparation for treatment purposes and admission form processing. I convey information to patients and their families on treatment processes, billing, payment procedures, and patient rights. Therefore, this job for me has taken my customer service skills a top-notch.
With my degree in Law Enforcement, I have with me criminal justice skills, for instance, research where I can access crime data resources and analyze economic and societal aspects affecting crime ethics. During my time in college, I was also able to master some writing skills such as report composition, essay writing on criminal justice. Apart from research and writing, I have also gained inductive and deductive reasoning, critical thinking, collaboration, leadership and case study skills. I can now interrogate, interview and build arguments. When it comes to technology and crime, I am capable of mapping crimes using relevant software and identify fingerprints with relevant systems.
My work and life experiences after high school have instilled in me the passion, commitment, initiative, and competency of being an effective lawmaker. I strongly believe that I can make a good pretrial service officer based on my education background, and work experience.
