Affiliations

I now manage my own home based business creating hand-crafted items. I sale these items online and in my community. I've learned to manage my time between home and operating my business.

Experiences

Since the mid 90's I have worked in customer service based jobs. I have worked as a cashier which allowed me to build my customer service skills. I've also worked in the food service industry. Customers are usually more staunch about their food then most things. I have learned to handle customer complaints as well as handle corporate office requests. I've dealt with inventory counts in food service and retail convenient stores. I've also learned how to interview, hire and terminate employees in the Senior Manager position as well as teach and show employees how to work as a unit. I've handled vendors in the food service industry as well as the convenient store setting.
