To do my job you need to be professional, dynamic, a quick learner, able to work under stress, have strong language skills (for my region), be a team player and have very good client service skills.

There is no typical day so I have lots of variety; however I would expect to deal with at least 35 client issues per day, which keeps me very busy.
