While primarily a position in customer service, I do much more than simply handing books to customers. I spend my days maintaining several organizational tasks and projects at once, while remaining highly flexible and able to help coworkers at a moment's notice, while simultaneously answering phones, troubleshooting customers' tech issues and helping a lost wanderer find the exact book they're looking for- even if they don't know it yet themselves. It's often a high-pressure position in which I pride myself on my success and ability. Show less

Nov 2013 - Feb 2016
Working with children ages 8-14 to help them improve their English abilities. Developed time management skills to an almost god-like level thanks to rigorous class structures, as well as honing my own communication ability and understanding of the language itself. Editing, writing and creative problem solving were constant in this position, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing results. Working with children ages 8-14 to help them improve their English abilities.

Interfacing with customers while making sure their orders are crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, while maintaining the quality of the store and products within. Knowledge of coffee and related products are a must-have, and the willingness and ability to spread my own personal experience and opinions to assist customers is a strong part of my work ethic.
