"I have really enjoyed my career so far. I have been known as a people person, and have lived oversees in the past. Therefore, International Sales was a good fit for me. One thing to consider about International Sales is the travel requirement. The job often requires one to be on the road 30-50% of the year. Someone in this line of work must be vigilant in keeping their personal affairs well maintained. Anyone in this line of work must be organized and prepared at all times."
