Summary

I have a large background in customer service and retail. For the past few years I have worked many part time jobs, often two at once, to quickly expand my work knowledge and time management capabilities, and would now like to find a fulltime career to apply my skills to. I am adept at working with customers to understand potential problems and preferences, and how to find every customer their best fitting solution. I am well-versed in providing knowledgeable assistance to retail and wholesale customers as well as dealing with third party vendors.
