• Assistant Buyers Manager

  • Sep 1981 - Feb 2001

  I started as a cashier at this hardware store and worked my way up to be one of the store's managers. I managed the assistant buyers, and the receptionists. (I also managed the cashier crew of 50+ prior to being promoted). I worked on a phone system that had over 80 extensions. I was also the assistant sporting goods buyer. Working within budgetary limits, I bought from 120+ vendors, arranged returns for credit, and maintained stock in the sporting goods and toy department. The computerized ordering system required a lot of data entry. Working in the retail setting, I often stocked shelves which required lifting boxes from 1 to 50 pounds. This position required solid clerical skills, and the ability to multi-task.
