Experience

Present: I have been working with Career Builders Temp Agency for this past year working at part time positions. Those part time positions have been located in San Francisco, they are administrative positions; Level Equity Finance, and XNLP, which is an asset management and hedge fund company. With all these temp positions I handled various administrative tasks with all departments when needed.

Floor and Decor Design Consultant

Floor and Decor - San Leandro, CA

Nov. 2021 to Oct. 2022

As a Design Consultant I worked with clients to design layouts for their remodeling concepts on Meti-CAD, an offshoot of AutoCAD. I would personally assist clients in choosing the products (tile, paint, fixtures,flooring) for their projects. I matched the selected projects to the layout to ensure that everything worked and met the needs of the clients to achieve their design goals. Most of the projects centered on either kitchens or bathrooms, other projects included outdoor areas of the house, such as backyards and porches. Kim Pereira-CawthornePage 1 of 3

Sales/Design Associate

Segale Bros. Custom Wood Products - Hayward, CA

February 2018 - November 2021

As a Sales associate and designer I would execute a sale such as a remodeling project or a refacing project then finalize the financial aspects of these projects. From there I would assist the clients in design concepts that they were interested in. Working to choose wood product styles and finishes, backsplash tiles, handles, fixtures, paint color, whatever was needed. Activities also included taking measurements and creating drawings with those measurements and concepts. At this point I would work with our in-house architects to create a finalized floor plan and/or blueprints that could be handed over to the city for building permits, if needed. Once the project design was finalized, I would coordinate with the clients and the installers to get the construction started. I maintained constant contact with both the client and the installers to ensure these jobs were done swiftly, correctly and professionally. A closeout walk-thru was conducted by me with the clients to ensure that the job was completed and that the client was satisfied with the final outcome. Sale Specialist
