In high school, I interned with the same physical therapist that helped me recover after my injury. This internship helped me explore the different careers in the medical field as well as teach me about patient care.

The primary responsibility of a sales manager is to direct the sales team. A sales manager serves as a guiding hand for the sales team; outlining staff training programs, developing strategies, and pushing team members to reach short-term and long-term goals (“Sales Manager” U.S. News). To be a successful sales manager, you’re going to need basic leadership skills. Good communication skills, an open-mind, creativity and determination, are just a few of the important skills necessary when it comes to managing your team.
