@clarkejanuary
Customer-focused retail associate with a passion for international business.
What I'm looking for
As a third-generation member of a family business founded in 1956, I have dedicated my career to maintaining and growing our store in a highly competitive market. My experience as a sales associate has equipped me with strong customer service skills, allowing me to provide knowledgeable advice and foster meaningful relationships with customers. I have a deep understanding of the importance of communication in business, which has been further enhanced by my studies in multiple languages.
With a Bachelor of Science in International Business and a minor in Supply Chain Logistics from the University of Akron, I have developed a keen interest in global markets and the interconnectedness of today's economy. My academic background, combined with my practical experience in sales, warehousing, and website development, positions me well to launch my career in international business. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute to a dynamic organization that values innovation and global engagement.
