Summary

Tourism and Hospitality-Retail Sales Representative

During my education in tourism and hospitality high school, which started in 2013 and ended in 2017, I gained extensive experience in the travel and accommodation, food, and beverage sectors. Throughout my studies, I learned and practiced how to improve human relations and worked in various places and fields. In these positions, I continuously added new skills and gained experience.

After 2017-2018, I voluntarily took my first step into another service sector branch, retail sales. I initially started working at an average store, and by 2020, I advanced to one of the best companies in the Turkish market. In 2022, I decided to move to the United States and left my job.

After arriving in America, I initially worked in a Turkish Mediterranean cuisine restaurant. My purpose in taking this job was to get to know the local culture, improve my English, and gain experience. Now, I feel ready to gain different experiences, further develop myself, and, more importantly, better adapt to life in America. I am eager to gain new experiences.
