Joshua Bardo
Richmond,VA
Summary
My name is Joshua Bardo, and I'm a student at VCU. After my year as trumpet captain in senior year of high school, I spent my first two years as a classical trumpet performance major. I switched to a Music BA to have a greater focus on being a well rounded musician instead of a sole concentration. This change has also gifted me time to work through college, as I had not had that opportunity until now. I spent the latter half of summer 2025 working at Dairy Queen as a member of the "Grill" team. I've been working as a "Sales/Stock Associate" at World Market since September 2025. This position has taught me customer service skills at the register, as well as stock management when dealing with inventory.

World Market
Glen Allen, VA
09.2025 - Current
- Self motivated, with strong communication and customer service skills. (High membership sign up results over entire duration of employment)
- Worked effectively in fast paced environments, without impacting quality of work. (Efficient during holiday time, despite never having worked these times before)
- Skilled at working independently on low personnel days, and collaboratively on high customer forecast days. (Efficient at running the front end of the store solo, and efficient at following directions when as part of a group)
- Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations. (Quickly picking up both Sales and Stock associate tasks, and managing both roles for the duration of my employment.)
- Consistency with attendance. (Despute frequent migraines, I've never called out of an entire shift a single time. At most, arriving slightly late, with a notification promptly given to managers.)
