I have years of experience in sales, construction and customer service. I am self motivated, reliable, hard working and easy to get along with. I am a self starter and can work well alone or in a group setting. I am a fast learner and always put my best foot forward. I am a very positive and optimistic person. I am very well spoken, use proper grammar and find it easy to communicate with others. I look forward to having a personal interview, either in person or via video chat.

Small Business Owner

Cici's Snow
06.1998 - 06.2002

I owned a concession trailer and sold food to the public. I would set up at Walmart locations within the state of Georgia and would sell different food items to the public. My business was a Snow Cone business but I also sold individually wrapped ice creams, sodas, pizza slices and nachos with nacho cheese and jalepeños. I gave each store 20% of my sales, to the stores that allowed me to set up in their parking lots.


I sold my business when I moved and divorced.

Traveling Sales Representative

Designer Showcase
05.1979 - 12.1988

I traveled to various locations, to set up displays of sunglasses and eyeglass frames, to sell to the public. I was trained, at 12 years old, by a professional optician, on different lenses and how to manually adjust frames to fit each customers face. I was trained on how to take eye measurements and how to fix and repair glasses. I also used an engraver to engrave different letters, shapes and designs into the lenses, per each customers request. I kept a cash box and kept up with all of my sales, inventory and expenses.
