Summary

I'm an experienced in mainly retail, focused on sales with a customer-centric approach. I prioritise the customer's experience and hold a friendly, empathetic attitude towards working, so both I and the customers feel relaxed. My compassion also strongly comes from me caring for my nanna when she was sick; my organisational skills that develop with varying customers and adjusting to their needs develops from my very different 4 dogs who require different routines and care. Experience in the POS system, floor service and stocking gives me a range of experience in parts of retail, which branch into other sectors of work outside of retail. This provides me with diversity in work, but I strive to develop my skills further than the temporary position I've held, especially during university.

Work history

Seasonal Sales Assistant

JD Sports
Mansfield, UK
11.2023 - 01.2024
  • I worked as a seasonal temporary worker at JD sports. This job allowed me to be great with labour as I had to move totes full of clothes and accessories up and down stairs and put them out on the shop floor.
  • I learnt great customer service skills from communicating with customers every day and I have worked with a pos machine, making me experienced in that area too.
  • Working in the Christmas season created a busy environment that required focus and team work that I gained whilst working there.
