I have worked between both homegoods and TJ Maxx for the past 2 and a half almost 3 years. At homegoods, I was a Safety and Shrink Mentor. I held group meeting to go over safety precautions as well as loss prevention. During my field placement I was in a kindergarten classroom and worked individually with all students on topics like phonemic awareness and number recognition.
