  • Effectively present information and respond to questions from customers, clients and other employees of the organization.
  • Present a friendly, professional appearance through tone of voice and dress.

We are often the client voice, which requires good judgment. It will be important to understand what is appropriate both online and off when we are designing on our client’s behalf.


Work Environment

Resolute is a fast-paced environment that requires employees to be self-motivated and eager to ask questions. We have a lot to teach, but we need someone who is ready to learn. Resolute’s clients are nothing short of awesome. You have to be a quick thinker and ready to switch from topics as diverse as education to technology to retail. It comes with time, but if you’re willing to put in the effort, you will soon be bringing new ideas to the table and getting a front row seat to a growing company!
