example, manage a large group of diverse people, and it truly shows my commitment and dedication when
I put my mind and heart into a company.

Working here allowed me to use my people skills and provide great customer service. Always making our guest
happy and never allowing a bad experience expose the store as a location in which people should not shop
instead as the Sales Manager I used these opportunities to train myself and team members to provide a better
experience. I was in charge of scheduling, GARDA, COSA, and money balancing and training team members.
