Working alongside the Delegate Coordinator, our objective was to create an event environment that would foster networking and education. My journey began as a Delegate Coordinator, during which I recruited attendees. As my career developed, I advanced to the company's first Delegate Manager position, helping to interview applicants, train new employees and host regular meetings for progress review as well as to inspire productivity and increase employee motivation.

As a member/client of the new gym at the time, I was made aware of the job opening, and decided to explore the opportunity, believing I could eventually move up in the company. As the facility had just recently opened, my responsibilities included increasing our customer base- through word-of-mouth promotion of our memberships, developing and strengthening relationships with current clients to encourage more frequent visits and loyalty, and maintaining a welcoming environment for visitors. Additional responsibilities at this position included: cash handling, review of contracts with clients, answering phones, gym tours, membership sales, assistance on use of machines, and eventually the hosting of a video-led weekly group workout class. FitZone for Women was privately owned and closed for business in 2009 for reasons undisclosed to me, thus eliminating my position. *Note the gap in employment between this position, and Forum Events to follow was voluntary- a decision made when I was fortunate enough to focus on family and enjoying life! :) Show less

I successfully set up the store's POS system, including creating item bar codes and adding inventory to the system, as well as developing customer profiles/accounts. The most common responsibilities in this position included: - Sales, including regular upselling - Customer relationships - Regular use of custom POS system - Maintaining cleanliness of storefront - Money handling and payment processing, often in amounts greater than $10,000 per order - Remaining knowledgeable in lighting and furniture brands and design/decor trends - Regularly working hand-in-hand with contractors and home owners throughout the length of their building and design and/or renovation of homes.

I advanced to the position of Take-Out Cashier, where I took meal orders over the phone or in-person, handled payments, assisted prepared meals were correct, and bagged them for take-out. My final promotion at Woody's BBQ was to prep cook, where I was responsible for preparing salads, desserts and side menu items, which required cooking on a stove top and convection oven, as well as visibly-pleasing plating. I left this position in 2003 voluntarily, when I was ready to explore a different career path. To note, I was contacted several years later with an offer to return to the restaurant as one of three managers, with hiring, scheduling and key-holding responsibilities, however I turned the offer down for a higher paying position with a more desirable schedule.
