Why should we hire you?

Answer 1

• I’ve been playing for coming on up to 10 years now and have quite a bit of experience.

Question 2

What makes you more qualified than other candidates?

Answer 2

• On top of working for Philpott during the summer, I have shown that I’m flexible, and I’ve been available for most last-minute calls and I am actually still working for Philpott at the Boulevard Club every weekend since October
• Also worked with OTA, done private lessons and I look forward to be beginning at the Bluffs soon
