I loved that this was a client-based role. I was working hands-on with 400+ clients throughout my time under the Uber Eats sector. It was a very valuable experience for me because I got to know the ins and outs the fast paced sales cycle.
What I wish was different
The only thing I wish was different was having more networking throughout my experience. I got to listen to a few senior level executives, but wish there was an opportunity to look at various sections and roles under the Uber title.
Advice
I think the best advice is to throw yourself out of your comfort zone. This was the first experience I had working in a client-based role and wish I wouldn’t have been so hesitant first starting. Once I got comfortable and in the groove of everything, I truly succeeded in the position and it helped me to gain so much confidence within the role.
