Is this Career for You?

2. Decision maker: Can you make logical decisions? Do you constantly need to consult with others prior to deciding what should be done?

3. Detail oriented: Do you pay attention to the little things? Are you capable of looking for trends?

4. Organizational skills: You must be organized. You will handle a variety of forms and important documents.

5. Computer literate: Do you know how to use a computer? The basics: attach documents, use word, and etc
