Summary
Being a merchandiser for almost a decade now has taught me truly how to be a passionate leader in the workplace. Not only a leader, but also someone you can rely on to get the job done correctly, and efficiently, regardless of the difficulty or density of the task. My guilty conscious prevents anything from being untouched in my accounts. I would not allow myself to leave a store, knowing we have product out back that could improve the appearances of our designated shelves. All in all, I bring a passionate work ethic and positive attitude to whomever my employer or my customers may be.
