Undergraduate / 'to convince difficult clients to buy a product ' - one of your extracurricular [2]
I'm an international student applying to a US college. Following is my answer, please give me some feedback about it. Thanks.
"When I finished secondary school my father had been suffering from a parasitic disease called filariasis and my mother had been unemployed for years. Hence, going to college was impossible for me.
Faced with this harsh reality, I asked a business owner for a job. My desire to overcome obstacles caught his attention and he hired me as a Sales Agent at his Telecom dealer.
This job was a great learning experience. Having to convince difficult clients to buy a product helped me develop good persuasion and listening skills. Moreover, my passions for computers increased as I not only used them to create sales report, save clients information but I also fixed them at times.
As the youngest employee, I distinguished myself by applying good work ethic, performing duties the best way I could, and learning from and cooperating with the most experienced peers.
I was profoundly touched when I saw how my paycheck of $75 US reduced my mother's pain from her everyday struggles to find food for the family."
