My work included taking appointments, filing charts, answering phones, and running errands. b) I was a sales person at a hardware store and was selling windows, doors, and tools and providing other customer services. I eventually became a manager at the hardware store. My responsibilities were ordering products and supplies, as well as supervising five employees. c) I spent two summers working at the university's admission office, showing prospective students around the campus and answering phone calls and performing other clerical duties. d) I was a summer camp counselor for special children. My responsibilities included handling special activities and providing daily assistance to kids as required. Required: Rewrite the work experience section of Victor's rsum to make it more effective.
