Work H isto ry
Footwear associate Passed Department Manager Certication Test Kmart
Brandon, Florida October 2007 April
2010
Job Duties: I assisted customers, straightened and filled the department, worked shoes to
shelf and topstock, set the weekly ad, and changed endcaps. In addition, I also straightened
and worked out hanging beachwear and slippers to the appropriate aisles in the department.
I marked down clearance shoes and did new layouts for the footwear department. The
current manager had extensive health issues. I assumed the lead position when she was on
various extended medical leaves due to her health, when she was out for over four weeks
with knee surgery, and when she took vacations. In addition, I scheduled, supervised, and
trained associates who came to help out in the footwear department. I led the shoe
department to rank number one in the district (according to sales) by assisting customers
over the phone, in the shoe department and promoting sales over the intercom system.
