Work History

  • Accomplished sales goals by engaging customers, delivering active service, and promoting merchandise's use and versatility. I have succeeded in gaining over $250 in commission, for which we receive $10 for any sale over $600, and $20 for any sale over $1,000.
  • I helped create ideas for content for social media, and assisted in shooting and modeling social media advertisements for products.
  • Unboxed new merchandise and restocked shelves in appealing and organized arrangements to promote items.
  • I was promoted from sales associate to key holder, which led to collaborating with management to determine key tasks and delegate them to staff members. I now lead opening and closing duties, including counting cash drawers and preparing bank deposits. I receive online orders and correctly ship them through Shopify and ShipStation.
