I'm Ann Gold. You can always find me at the following address: 134 Yellow Street, 15, Greentown, Russia, 555555. Tel.: (Ill) 333-222.

I graduated from Greentown State University in 2002, I'm a Bachelor of Psychology. Immediately after graduating I started my career, working for X & X Ltd for two years as Secretary to the Chief Sales Manager. Today, I'm still working here. I've obtained skills such as typing, filing, scheduling ap­pointments, etc.

Then, I thought, I could begin a career, because I've got many useful skills and abilities. As a psychologist, I'm good at interpersonal communica­tion. I speak English and French fluently, as I lived in Canada for a year at my grandparents'.

Moreover, I've got good organisational skills, I'm quite experienced in organising sales presentations. I invented a method, increasing the effective­ness of sales presentation by more than 25%. I'm sure, I can make a career as Sales Manager in a large corporation someday.

The only thing I should do now is to create a good and effective resume.
