Roundabout

- Roundabout is a charity organization that sells second-hand donated items to support children in need. I volunteered in its book department managing inventory, while sometimes assisting costumers find specific items not located in the shopping area.

- Participated in group discussion to update system on category of books being sold, made suggestion for a new category between adults and children called young adults, another suggestion was to merge some of the categories that do not have enough donations to save space.

- Helped with outdoor book fair by organizing table positions and book sections.

- Assessed prices for books based on criteria like how well it was preserved, whether it was a hard-cover copy and the original price of the book.

- Uploaded data and photos of better-preserved books to online shop using information within books and additional information from internet. Also in charge of combining books within a series together to be sold as a bundle when the opportunity arises.
