Meeting, greeting and answering phones for clients such as BJ's Restaurants and Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club. I realized the voice and face of a company is as important to your members, clients and customers as the company itself. And even when just temporary you never know who you will meet from your past or new to your future. Networking, relationships, personality and professionalism, no matter your position are more important than a title.
