\item \textbf{Communication Skills:} While with my former employer, I routinely gave presentations to my division’s upper management, including senior managers, directors, and the VP, regarding my group’s quarterly sales numbers. In addition, I conducted technical training seminars to new members of the group as well as “refresher” courses to existing group members.\\
