Experience

• Store Manager

  • May 2013 - Present

  For the past two and a half years I have been Store Manager within the Rutherglen branch. This presented a different kind of challenge for me, as it was situated within a quiet centre on the outskirts of the city.

• Assistant Store Manager

  • 2012 - 2013

  Since my experience and skills where better put to use in a challenging environment, line management moved me to a store where they would be better put to use. This was the store with the highest turnover in the business. Within a year of being here, I was promoted to store manager.

• Supervisor

  • 2010 - 2012

  The Store Manager required support on the lead up to the busy Christmas period. This temporary role involved, managing the store, training staff, merchandising and staff rotation. While working in this position The Officer’s Club changed hands and my Sales and Service role was no longer part of their structure.

• Sales & Service Manager

  • 2009 - 2010

  Having been recognised for my skills and enthusiasm for store sales and customer service, I was briefed by my directors to put a team together. Recruiting from within the company, this team was to be comprised of the brightest, most sales-driven employees around the UK. We had the task of targeting sales and service throughout The Officer’s Club as well as communicating and demonstrating a high-energy message through comprehensive training. I was also responsible for assisting new store opening events. This sometimes required me to be away from home for weeks at a time at short notice. Show less

• Supervisor

  • 2005 - 2010

  My duties included managing the store, training staff, merchandising and staff rotation. Two years into my time at The Fort I was promoted to Floor Manager. Store standards were very high and the store was considered to be a ‘model store’, because of this and the location, the store sometimes required someone work extraordinary hours around peak to ensure store standards where maintained. I volunteered for the majority of these shifts.

• Part Time Sales Advisor

  • 2002 - 2005

  This was my first job while at college. During my time at Parkhead I was promoted to a full time position as supervisor and transferred to The Fort Shopping Centre.
