SALES

I have worked in retail & service for about 20 years.

Cutco Independent sales representative for 1 year.

Increased salon revenue by $4,000 in my first 3 months of employment.

Set the record for club cards sold in a month, multiple times for my current part time employer.

COMMUNICATION

Saved my previous employer from a very expensive mistake by communicating to him that all of his documents were not correct & then made the necessary changes for him.

Have done several class & job presentations that were very successful. I think the most successful being a “give a hug” day that myself and four other group members held at our college.

Have taken several communication classes in completion of my degrees.

Have worked in the service industry as a hairstylist, a waitress, a bartender, a sales representative and a receptionist.

Proficient in computers and several computer programs.

LEADERSHIP

Currently am the voice for my fellow employees.

Have held management positions in the salon, restaurant and bar industries. In doing so I’ve gained a lot of leadership knowledge such as; leading employees, taking charge in uneasy situations, and handling vendors.
