My name is Girshwen Pienaar, a 28-year-old coloured male who completed my BSc in Human Physiology and Biochemistry at the University of Johannesburg in 2011. I then completed my BSc Honours degree in Biochemistry in 2012, also at the University of Johannesburg with an overall final mark of 66%. My experience lies in scientific research as I enrolled for my MSc in Biochemistry in 2013, tutoring and teaching as I was a practical demonstrator and tutor from 2012 -2015 at the University of Johannesburg Biochemistry department. I have gained nearly 4 years of sales and customer experience since starting with Lasec Group as a Sales Solutions Specialist in March 2015 and have gained invaluable experience in client relationship management, the sales process, aftersales support as well as installation and training on laboratory equipment. Above that I have also had exposure to the writing of work instructions in my company and the implementation thereof. My tenacity for learning and applying my knowledge analytically and methodically has seen me promoted from an internal sales solutions specialist to an external sales solutions specialist in 2017. I possess natural leadership qualities and as such am second in charge to the manager of my team. I manage my time well and am always able to complete tasks in a timely manner and mostly before deadlines. I can work independently and as part of a team and can integrate my work with that of the team. I am a good listener and can follow instructions, while also taking initiative where necessary. I am looking to broaden my horizons and will put in the effort to ensure I am great at whatever it is I do. I like to be stimulated and challenged at work to find solutions that benefit not only myself, but those directly and indirectly affected by these. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to consider my CV. If you feel that I could be of value to your company, please do not hesitate to contact me telephonically on (***)-***-**** or via email at ****@*****.***. I also have a LinkedIn profile which can be viewed at http://www.******.***
