Kathy A. Wiltgen
Please find attached my resume listing my work experience and qualifications. As you will see I have extensive retail and management experience. Thru the years I have worked as an Internet Sales Manager, Sr. Merchandise Manager, Store Manager and District Manager. With these positions my responsibilities included customer service, managing up to 50 employees, sales estimates, gross profit and inventory control.
With my dedication to my work I feel I am able to be organized and make decisions quickly. Learning new procedures and training others is not unfamiliar to me. Monitoring merchandise, controlling markdowns, gross profit and creating sales with purchasing, customer service and mentoring employees.
I hope you will consider my qualifications and interest with your company to visit with you on the position. Please feel free to contact me at the above contact information. I look forward to hearing from you and would be happy to visit with you at your convenience.
