Relevant Experience
The Crate, Summerville, Georgia 30747 Closed Down/Local
Sales Associate/Opening Manager/Key Holder
High End Fashion Boutique
Throughout my employment with the Crate I had the honor of being promoted to Opening
Manager. Opening manager was given to me because I was in High School and was unable to
close due to guidelines. Before being promoted the position was nonexistent. Opening manager
was basically carrying out all the duties that I did before accept the position, just with a title and a
raise. I made sure that all customers were satisfied, I handled returns and exchanges, I handled
store acquisitioning, I interviewed applicants, I had to oversee 2 employees at a time, I created
marketing plans and etc. The only reason that I had to leave is because school had started and I
was 7 hours away. Months after I left, the business closed down.

Victoria’s Secret, Savannah, Georgia 31404
Supervisor: Lisa Richards 912-***-****
Stock/Cashier/Sales Associate/Bra Specialist
I was selected to put my skills that I’ve learned in the past to bring costumers inside our store for
bra fittings, panties, perfume and so much more. Being put in stock upon my arrival I was
immediately moved to the floor to sales because of my hard drive, dedication, knowledge, and
outgoingness. The experience provides me with the opportunity to learn as well as to teach others,
develop leadership and teambuilding skills, and guidance.
HGREGG, Savannah, Georgia 31404
Supervisor: Matthan Ivy 912-***-****
CSM/Commission Sales Associate
The Customer Service Merchandiser is to process sales transactions and assist customers in a
prompt, courteous manner. Maintain a neat and clean work area. Comply with company policies
and procedures. When I wasn’t assisting with the cash wrap I was on the sales floor. The
commissioned sales associate is to provide top quality guest assistance and customer service that
far exceeds that of our competitors. Continuously demonstrates a solid commitment in selling
products and services. The biggest check that I have ever seen come out of that place is $6k in 2
weeks! That’s quite an accomplishment.
Target, Savannah, Georgia 31419
Supervisor: Corporate Office 612-***-****
Seasonal Associate/Remodel Team
This job was seasonal. My main task was to welcome customers in and make sure that they were
updated in daily store changes to make it easier for them to shop. It gets difficult not knowing
where something is when you’ve been to the same store for years. I was offered a fulltime position
but I turned it down because the management team was very unprofessional. When I was hired
they didn’t have the proper papers and the management members talked rudely about previous
employees. Although these things were happening I enjoyed being a helping hand.
CPI Studios, Savannah, Georgia 31405 Closed Down
Studio Master Photographer
At this studio I helped create lasting memories for our clients. It sounds easy but this position required
strong sales and customer service skills, along with exceptional communication skills. I was able work
effectively in a group setting as well as alone in the studio. I gained a lot of photography experience and
creative skill. I was able to take photos, book appointments, keep up with UPS shipments, and meet sale
goal in one day! Talk about effective multitasking!
Telenet Marketing Solutions, Bogart, Georgia
Marketing Communication Specialist
Throughout my time at Telenet I learned a lot. I discovered my phone voice! It was fun and energetic. I
learned how to hold a conversation on subjects that I had no clue about. It’s very fast paced. It’s a
learning environment. There we talked on the phone 65% of the time. The other half of the time, we
spent writing Gencom’s (talking about the outcome of the call). We were separated on campaigns. I was
on the HP campaign most of the time. I was responsible for marketing newly released HP products.
