QuestionsDo you have to have any knowledge with livestock?No, as
a matter of fact, I didnt have any knowledge of livestock before
working at this job. After being here for 8 years, I finally have
some knowledge of it.What programs are frequently used?Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Excel, QuickBooks, and PowerPoint (only at the end
of the year). If you dont know how to use those programs then you
are going to be in trouble.What are the most important tasks that
you have to do?Telephone etiquette and attention to deal are
extremely important. When Larry (the boss) travels around the US, I
have to plan the trip. I have to make sure that everything is
correct because I dont want to send him to the wrong place.Kylie
