My interpersonal skills I have developed during my college, since I was extensively involved in college community, including student clubs, organization of events, which has allowed me to work more closely with colleagues and various stakeholders inside and outside of the college.

This valuable experience has granted me the opportunity to develop time management skills, and good organizational skills, which I would like to further improve within business environment.

Even though I do not have work experience in business environment, I believe my personal attributes make me suitable for the position of Retail Sales assistant, because:
