Carli Herbst
@carliherbst
I am looking to transition into the remote work environment and bring my skills and experience to a forward-thinking company.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated, adaptable, and hardworking professional with a diverse background in account management, sales, administration, retail management, and finance. My experience has allowed me to develop a broad range of skills, while teaching me the importance of building strong relationships, maintaining accuracy, meeting targets, and taking responsibility for my work.
Throughout my career as a Sales Executive for various brands, I have built and maintained strong customer relationships while managing sales activity and consistently working towards targets. I have also managed a hardware store, where my responsibilities included point-of-sale operations, stock ordering, customer service, and store merchandising. These experiences have strengthened my ability to work independently, manage multiple responsibilities, and remain focused in a fast-paced environment.
My administrative experience includes working as a Committee Secretary and Office Assistant, where organisation, communication, attention to detail, and effective time management were essential. In the finance field, I gained valuable experience in data capturing, account maintenance, and bookkeeping, further developing my accuracy and ability to work confidently with detailed information.
I am currently based in the Netherlands and am looking to bring my experience and transferable skills into the remote work environment. I am always willing to take on new challenges and responsibilities, and I genuinely enjoy learning and developing both personally and professionally. I am flexible, adaptable to change, and comfortable learning new systems and processes. I believe my varied experience, strong work ethic, and willingness to grow would enable me to make a positive contribution to any organization.
