Stockroom Maintenance
-
Nov 2007 - Dec 2014
I worked everywhere in the store. I assisted customers in all departments, from the front end to bath, bedding, kitchenware, and bridal registry. I planned, organized, and maintained the stockrooms. I worked independently, with little guidance in adhering to the systems in place to provide organization for the volume of product we carried. I was an expert on our merchandise, and counseled customers on what product would best fit their needs. I worked everywhere in the store.
