1. Curriculum Vitae
Of
Natalie Meyer
Good Day.
My working experience consists of both Marketing and Sales experience. After working in the
marketing field for 4 years I decided to go into the sales field. By working in the sales industry I
become confident to speak and deal with people at a high corporate level. Understand people's
needs and communicate better with colleges and clients. After being in the sales industry for 3
years I know that it is Marketing that I am passionate about. I believe that the combination of
Marketing experience as well as Sales experience will be a great advantage for me in a career in
Marketing. To add to my working experience (sales, campaign management, promotion
management, event management) I also have a B-Com in Marketing Management which was
completed in 2006, I am also currently doing a diploma in Social Media and Online Brand
Representation, which will be completed in February 2015. I am looking for an existing career in
Marketing. I have a very outgoing personality and I am self-motivated.
