Business
SKILLS
Wayne communtiy college, Goldsboro, Nc
I spent a year and a half studying business before getting married and moving away. I never picked it back up again but have basic knowledge from schooling and extensive knowledge from hands on experience
My skills are pretty self explanatory:
I have experience and skill in the customer
service department and created a following in
my own business of loyal customers from
simply being a good listener and
understanding the company well enough to
keep a customer/client happy all the while
remaining within the guidelines of the
business
I am capable of training a staff of 20 people
or higher
I am poignant, organized, a quick learner, I
pay close attention to detail and I make it my
duty to reach weekly goals and have no
problem picking up others slack all the while
motivating them to keep pushing through.
I've been a manager (of sorts) and a team
player for most of my career and feel that I
have room to grow as well as skills to share.
I have leadership abilities that include
communicating properly with staff, motivating
a team to reach weekly goals, creating fun
ways to reach goals, etc..
I am able to organize and keep inventory
I have ample experience with floor
presentation and worked 100's of hours in
dressing windows, mannequins, photo shoots
and creating lookbooks.
I like to remain positive and work in a like
minded environment
