Additional Information
As a Senior Technician I trained new employees was part of the job. At my current job, one of my greatest accomplishments was helping make changes in the way deliveries are handled, to help streamline the whole process. This created better customer care and made it more cost effected, saving the store money and time. Helping customers get the best care and attention possible. Having good listening skills are important, especially in deescalating an angry customer. As a self-starter who does not need prompting, work is finished in a timely manner. I get along well with others and am very flexible when it comes to change. I have a strong work ethic and strive to do my very best at any job I do.
