Executive Assistant to CIO

Administration & Clerical

My name is Gina Sandoval, and I am pursuing an Assistant Buyer or Buyer position.  In my experience as a buyer, I always affected the bottom line by maximizing profits.  I have a keen interest and am skilled in fashion forecasting and anticipating market trends.  Additionally, I have extensive analytical and comprehension skills and an eye for detail, which has led me to be very successful in the buying field.  

I moved in New York City in 2011 to pursue a career in the apparel industry.  This experience really tested my character and perseverance, being new to and alone in a big city and having no idea what I was getting myself into.  I was blessed to land a position as a Buyer for a start-up athletic apparel company.  This position required that I stay as efficient, resourceful and flexible as possible. New York taught me that anything is possible as long as you work hard and don’t give up, which I did.  I am confident that I will be a valuable asset  because I am a go-getter, hard worker and put forward a tireless effort when working for a company that I respect and admire.  

Sincerely, 

Gina Sandoval
