Work History

Sales Associate

Target
08.2022 - Current
  • Inbound: I worked with my team to unload the trucks in the morning. separating all the product that would come in by department. Once we were done we'd bring all the product to the floor and stock the shelves.
  • I mainly worked in style / clothing department. I separated all the clothes by department, brand and style. I also prepared all the clothes for the sales floor by tagging them and folding them. I always met my goals and had everything done on time,
  • Style: Working the sales floor, I’ve worked extensively in every department in the clothing area (Fitting Room, Mens, Womens, Young Adult, Kids, Toddlers, Active Wear and Intimates.)
  • I organized racks and shelves to maintain store visual appeal, engaged with guests and helped them find everything they wanted for every occasion.
  • Fulfillment: Picking orders for every department of the store within the given time frame. It was fast pace and vert rewarding knowing you were constantly excelling at the goals given.
  • I also worked and covered all departments of the rest of the store including Beauty, Chemicals, Home Goods, Toys, Seasonal, Pets and Electronics while also helping at the register when needed.

Sales Associate +

Walmart
10.2020 - 07.2022

Since working at Walmart I’ve been part of a lot of different teams.

  • Personal Shopper: I used our provided hand held device to fulfill customers orders they place online. I picked the orders, staged them (made them customer ready!) and I dispensed them (brought them out to the customers vehicle when arrived!)
  • Self Checkout / Cashier: One of the busiest parts of the store. Working up front you have to be fast on your feet, a quick thinker, kind and respectful. It’s second nature to me now. I was all of that and more! I do well in stressful situations!
  • Sales Floor: I worked and over saw multiple departments, which includes: Camping department, Fishing Department, Auto Department, Hardware Department, Paint Department and Crafts department. I not only helped customers in all these departments, I also have enough knowledge of all of them so I can properly help every customer find what they’re looking for. Other things I did while overseeing this many departments: Work multiple pallets of freight, Clean and straighten up all the aisles, put back all the items customers left behind. While doing all of that I also run a register, mix and make paint, make copies of keys and issue fishing licenses. All of this is achieved every day with a small team of 3 people.

Front Line Worker

Sam's Club
01.2020 - 07.2020

While working at Sam's Club I wore a lot of different hats and that taught me how to multi-task and taught me how important customer satisfaction is. I was considered a "Front Line Team Member." I worked as a cashier up front. I also opened and closed in the liquor store and in tobacco. Whenever help was needed I worked at the gas station, customer service, club pick-up and on the sales floor (zoning and putting items away.)

Sales Associate
