Summary

I have 25+years of Customer Service experience. I have worked so many different customer service positions, from bagging groceries to running the entire front end of a very busy drycleaning operation serving a lot of high end clientele. I have excellent customer communication skills along with problem solving, data entry, bookkeeping and time management just to name a few but the list goes on and on. I am highly recommended by my former employers in their reference letters, I also have great reviews and comments on my social media pages customers who know I treat every customer with kindness and respect and will do my very best to resolve whatever issue they might have. I am a great people person and I’m very easy to talk to. I am also a very quick learner and enjoy adding new job skills to my resume. I just need someone to give me a chance and let me show you that I can do the work and get the job done right. You won’t regret hiring me!
