Stephen Linskey
Marshfield
Summary
I have 25 years of work history and a proven track record of professional reliability.
As a senior employee at IKEA, I am often sought for council by other coworkers and supervisors regarding kitchen planning and technical troubleshooting.
I am accustomed to working in high paced retail environments with short staffing and engaging with and defusing high maintenance and even belligerent customers.
My long experience in retail has also helped me gain patience in working with animals, both in a volunteer aspect and at home with my own dogs.
I am an amateur photographer with a preference for taking pictures in nature and relating to history.
I enjoy cooking and am a licensed bartender.
