OBJECTIVE
A challenging part-time position to utilize my professional experience, extensive education, team working abilities, and to advance my skills
SKILLS
I have retained great customer service skills after working in Pet Supermarket, the fast food industry, as well as a high-end car wash. I am able to communicate well with people and I have a very friendly personality. I have done volunteer work for Clover Run Rescue and my entire life has been spent caring for animals of all types. From dogs and cats to exotics such as large reptiles and macaws. Working as a referee helped me build confidence and quick decision making skills. My job as a sales associate at Pet Supermarket sharpened my customer service skills, and taught me how retail really works. After gaining experience in direct marketing at Peak Marketing, I learned how to comfortably communicate with many different types of people. As a job that strictly pays commission, the harder I worked and the better I got at following the system, the more money I would make. This sparked a fire in me that made me work as hard as I could, eventually making me the top salesman of my team a in a matter of 4 weeks. I am currently employed at Ted’s Montana Grill.
