Great Attention to Detail: It's a must. We ship the right product to keep customers on schedule, and it helps keep everyon'es life organized.
You have a great phone engagement, can laugh at your mistakes, have computer dexterity and presentable typing.
Though you enjoy people and can do well in small team environments, you are also a very self-motivated person and thrive working independently.

Good communication skills on the telephone, in person, and written are treasured.
