years of professional experience
I have been lucky enough to experience many kinds of work, both seasonal and year-round. My hometown in Alaska, where most of my experience comes from, is a town built on tourism, meaning my customer service skills are highly developed. I am able to handle and sell things ranging from food and drink to clothing items and other inventory.
