Hi Everyone,

I wanted to get some feedback from the community members on my profile to see if i have a chance of getting endorsed.

Out of those 13 years, I have spent the last 11 years in event technology sales roles. Currently, I am on a skilled worker visa working with a leading event technology company which I joined an year ago as a Senior Sales Account Executive.
