I am interested in a career in sales or customer success. I am keen and ambitious to benefit from, or to contribute to the Sales Development Rep (SDR) training and internship opportunities being developed in Alberta's startup community and tech sector. I want to participate in a sales playbook development program and learn how to create and use sales playbooks while getting exposure to potential employers within Alberta's startup community and tech ecosystem.
I believe that I am a great internship candidate for this program because I am a true entrepreneur who is dedicated to life-long learning, staying embedded within the business and tech communities. I recently earned my second Bachelor of Arts degree (English major/Philosophy minor) from the University of Lethbridge in June 2022. I earned my first Bachelor of Arts degree (History major) from the University of Lethbridge in April 1996. I first started my entrepreneurial journey when I was 11 years old and babysat for most of the neighbors in my childhood home, where I had learned a lot about childcare as I am the eldest of five. When I was 21 years old,. my second youngest sister Nancy (17 years old) was dying from a cancerous brain tumor. I promoted Zellers credit cards in Grande Prairie and earned enough commission sales so that I could cover all our family's living expenses while my Mom Margaret and my second eldest sister Rachel took care of Nancy at home. I was the sole income support for my family then as my father left when I was 15. I started my first business called Legal Prep Services in September 2004 after taking a Self-Employment Program with execuserv plus inc. in Lethbridge. I was hired by a local law firm for a 15 month contract after agreeing to close the business in exchange. I took some business courses at the University of Lethbridge from 2016-2018 and have also being an active participant in entrepreneurial training through different avenues, including Women Entrepreneurs in STEM. This month of September 2022, I started a new business called Content Strategist For Hire in order to be able to provide research, writing, and editing services based upon my 26 years of work experience between degrees in areas of law, politics, education, and government. I am now keen to learn app development and work in the tech field or other related opportunities. I bought my business license to be able to work from home. I have a brand new 15'6 inch HP laptop and Shaw is installing smart phone capacity this week so I will be able to make sales calls from my home office. I really need to work from home for a career and also so I can take care of my 79-year old Mother who is also my neighbor and suffers from chronic disabling osteoarthritis. Thank you for your time and consideration.

An opportunity to get hands on experience in the sales process.
I am an aspiring entrepreneur myself looking to learn by doing. As a neurodivergent individual, learning by reading and attending classes is an incomplete learning experience for me - applying myself to new challenges is how I learn most effectively.
I am a SAIT student studying Mechanical Engineering Technology looking for a part time job in a role that will help me grow by learning new skills.
I am passionate about the growing tech sector is Calgary and I want to help in any way I can - people shouldn't need to leave their home to find the jobs they need, as I have witnessed entrepreneurial peers leave this city time and time again. I see this internship opportunity as a way I can contribute directly to growing a desperately needed tech sector and community at home.
