RESUME

Rosalie Davis, ***** Landolt Rd., Highland, I l 62249 Cell Phone: 618-***-****

Past H istory: Received a 4 year B.S. Interior Design degree from Southern I l linois

U niversity, Carbondale. I worked for Niemann’s Flooring, Mu rphysboro, I l as a salesperson

for 10 years. After that many years, I learned all about the business and when he was out

of town, I would run the store. He started out as the smallest business in the area but by

working together Mr. Niemann’s store became the largest in the area. I set up installers

scheduling, measured all my own jobs, ordered the f looring, t raced i t if necessary, I would

complete the job in entirety for my customers.

I opened up my own business, Rosalie’s Ar t and Gift Studio, In Mu rphysboro, I l linois and

eventually taught art classes through John A. Logan’s Adult Education classes. I had also

t aken art classes from 40 different professional artists from all over the United States. I

t aught over a 6 year period and had hundreds of students taking classes in my own studio.

I had worked my way into 83 students per week.

I worked for Accents Unlimited, Troy, I l linois for Cathy Randazzo as a decorator for 2

years. We made fancy handmade draperies and valance t reatments. We also did

u pholstery and sold blinds and roller shades that were handmade. We constructed the

mechanism for the roller shades. We both had our own customers and went out on

consultations at customers homes. I would design our own patterns for some of them. She

relied on me to do the main construction. I loved sewing and figuring out the designs. She

is no longer in business.

I have worked for Torbit’s Flooring and Decorating for over a year and enjoy selling to the

p ublic. I will still be working there t ill I get something else. Mr. Torbit does not know that

I am looking for another job yet. This is a rewarding job but due to the economy, my hours

have been cut.

I have been in your store and have bought pillows from you in the past. I can see that you

have very good quality i tems to sell. At Torbit’s, we worked on strategy to upgrade

customers if possible. Even though they might say they only wanted to spend the least

amount, his policy was for us to always go past the special orders and comment on how

t hick and soft some of the samples were and many t imes the customer would end up

ordering something from the showroom rather than something we had in stock that was a

special buy. Smiling and believing in your product is contagious.

One of my biggest sales last month was $10,000 and I have no problem giving them any

amount of pricing. I find that educating the public to why something is more and why,

helps to overcome some of the pricing issues. If you have a specific way you want sales to be

p romoted, I will certainly follow your lead in promoting your products. I am a dedicated

worker and would love to work for your company.

Thank you,

Rosalie Davis
