Summary
Willing and cooperative customer servant, with the added bonus of knowing how to respond to emergencies when they arise. I've maintained a cool head even when gunshots were ringing out only a block from a neighborhood pool I was employed in and helped keep everyone calm during the evacuation. Always ready and willing to assist fellow employees with job tasks. Handles various duties and assignments. Accustomed to multitasking and working quickly to meet challenging demands. Considered hardworking and reliable with great interpersonal skills. If I can handle lifeguarding under pressure, I can adapt those conflict resolution, team building, customer service and equipment maintenance skills to a more calm environment such as working in a storefront. I can follow stocking checklists, perform checks on equipment once properly instructed in the operation of such, and operate whatever equipment is necessary. I'm a fast learner, so train me and I'll be all set for a task.
