Summary

I believe that I would be a great fit for this job because I have 5 years of experience in quality customer service ensuring the customer leaves happy and with what they wanted. The job details had listed that you are interested in someone who is a good teamplayer, multitasker, problem solver, previous retail experience, and taking pride in both work and helping the customer. I believe that I would be a perfect fit for this role. My previous retail experience, education, and volunteering has taught me all that I have listed and much more.
