Summary

Once I graduated High School, I started at Sears as a salesman in the Tools Department. After one year of hard work, dedication, and my successful sales record I was transferred to the Lawn & Garden Department which opened up more opportunities to showcase my skills as a salesman. One year later I was advanced to the Appliance Department which was the highest you could go as a salesman within the Company. I worked there for Three years maintaining high numbers in every category; even winning awards for the being best in our district for Protection Agreement Sales, and Credit applications.


Once my former employer went out of business, I was in charge of general caregiving for my grandparents on both my mother's and father's side of the family. I was responsible for general tasks such as transportation to doctors appointments, picking up medications, and any other tasks they were unable to do themselves. I also did house maintenance, which included fixing small appliances, computer repairs, wi-fi issues, TV repairs and any other tasks that was asked of me. I also took care of outdoor lawn care and house upkeep.
