opportunities within your organization.
I currently work for Newegg Canada Inc. as a Digital Category Merchandiser.
I have been with the company almost 4 years. It was a start-up operation
and I am one of the few left from when it first began. The company has
grown 20% year over year and I am happy to have contributed to its success.
My responsibilities covered many areas from negotiating with vendors,
product launches on category pages, executing marketing/promotional
campaigns on-line and externally, providing ROI on the banners created,
ensuring aged items are replenished & product sales are executed to hit our
budgets and trained new employees on our systems, company process and
marketing/promotional strategies.
I possess over 10 years of experience in promotional marketing with
excellent organizational skills and particularly strong attention to
detail. I have the ability to manage conflicting priorities, complete
tasks successfully to hit tight deadlines and remain updated with in-depth
knowledge of the promotional/merchandising markets. I bring forth a strong
sense of customer focus and the ability to develop client partnerships.
Thus being able to work under pressure and multi-task in a fast-paced
environment. I believe I am a strong candidate who can contribute to your
team.

and performance in executing projects. The accompanying resume can serve to
provide you with greater details of what I have to offer.
