Summary
I have owned my own business for 14 years. Recently I have moved into the area and I am now looking for a new career. I am looking for something steady and predictable, that I can support my family on. I have created and managed my own successful retail store but now is the time to move on as it is still based in California. I know how to motivate and work with employees to create a happy and positive work environment. I had a very low turnover rate and still get texts and calls from current and former employees during the holidays. I take care of my employees because I believe that when an employee is happy it directly translates to the work they are performing. I believe I would be a great asset to any company in a leadership/management position.
