Summary
Hard working in seeking an higher education, worked part-time as a retail assistant over the seasonal Christmas period. I managed to multi-task all my skills to multiple departments around the store where members of the team where short staffed.
My main role in the team was to go around each department placing a price on each item and making sure products where placed on the right isles, was let go after Christmas due to budget cuts, however, willing to be trained in all tasks necessary.
