Oct 2011 - Sep 2017
Throughout my school career and time at university I balanced a part time supervisor role in a fast-paced environment. Managing staff and stock daily I had to think on my feet adapting to the business needs in unforeseen busy periods. I restructured staff rotas of over 50 employees ensuring the correct numbers and skillsets were covered once footfall forecasting had been complete. As a result, the customer waiting time for service was consistently low and company management asked me to return during university holidays to resume my role in busy periods. Skills Gained: - business forecasting - team management - Stock management - communicating with suppliers - excel - barista trained Show less

A part time retail position orientated around providing first class customer service. I was placed between the shop floor and fitting rooms to fully utilise my fashion knowledge and enthusiasm. Communicating with customers to learn more about them and the garment or look they were looking for I then gathered garments suitable from the shop floor to deliver to the customer in the fitting rooms until collectively we found the perfect combination. The overall service tailored to each customer resulted in online customer feedback highlighting my service whilst promoting a positive image for the store.
