Customer-focused sales assistant with web development skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated sales assistant with over six years of experience in customer service and retail environments. My journey has equipped me with strong interpersonal skills, allowing me to establish rapport with customers and effectively address their needs. I have a proven track record of managing administrative tasks, including stock control and cash transactions, while ensuring a smooth operation in various roles.
In my previous positions, I have taken on responsibilities such as filling in as store manager during staff absences and leading customer service projects. My ability to maintain up-to-date knowledge of sales and security standards has contributed to my success in delivering exceptional service. I am currently expanding my skill set in web development, having completed courses in coding and web technologies, which I believe will enhance my contributions in future roles.
