Communication Skills
Through the past few years I have had the opportunity to hands on develop my communication and listening skills with customers and coworkers through working retail and food service. I have dealt with my fair share of irate customers while working retail, and have learned how to deal with them politely and efficiently. I have also worked with a variety of different coworkers and tend to get along with everyone well enough. The work environment is most effective and comfortable when everyone has open communication, and is on the same page.
