PERSONAL STATEMENT

growing organization. I am seeking a position that will make full use of my skills and abilities

WORK EXPERIENCE

STORE MANAGER MAY 2013 - PRESENT

HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS, EASTLAKE, OHIO

Manage a tool store that produces $6 million in annual sales. Since taking over as manager of

the store, the weekly sales have increased an average of 20 percent over last year. I reorganized

the stockroom to assist in making the truck unloading process and the merchandise management

process more effecient. I evaluated each associate in the store and assigned associates in a

position in the store which I felt their talents would be more effective. Verified balance on hands

on the SKU's in the store to correct inventory levels which resulted in improved in-stock levels in

the store which has contributed to the weekly increase in sales.

maximize sales and profit based on customer needs. Trained and developed fifteen employees

to become assistant managers and store managers with the company. Assisted the District

Manager in overseeing four challenge stores in the district to get those stores back in shape and

assisted the Store Managers with developing a plan to put these stores back on the right track in

appearance, performance and sales. In 2008, I was awarded the Area Paragon Award, which is

OPERATIONS MANAGER JUL 1996 - FEB 1998

HILLS DEPARTMENT STORE, NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO

Manage the operations portion of the business which included the receiving of trucks, cashiers,

inventory control team, layaway department and the office staff. I implemented a program

involving the receiving of the truck, breaking down the pallets and how the merchandise was

staged on the sales floor, which shortened a third of the time it took to process a truck than what

it took to process a truck prior. This program was implemented into all the stores in the district, in

which I had to visit each store and evaluate each stores progress with the program.

sales and profits by controlling the inventory levels in these stores.
