Summary

I have worked in retail for over 12 years, and been a supervisor a majority of that time. I believe that

you have to dictate in order to make things happen, but there is not an I in team therefore you have

to work side by side with your employees and get your hands dirty in order to make things happen.

You always need to continue to train your people in order for them to continue to be successful. It

always takes a team in order for things to be done efficiently and effectively.

My goals are to work in a satisfying job where I can learn new skills, at the same time I would like to

be able to slow down and not work 80 hours a week in order to spend more quality time with my

children. I am very happy working and helping the youth in our community and would love to find a

perfect fit to where I can do all the above.

Sales Leader

I was promoted to a Sales Leader position where I oversaw the day to day operations of all

supervisors in the building (7) along with the associates on the sales floor (230). I ensure that the

associates. I ensure that the associates are on the sales floor, merchandising product properly while

showing a high level of urgency and working in an efficient, productive manner while consistently

giving excellent customer service to their guests.

I analyze the sales for the day, month, quarter and year and watch all areas in the store to see if they

are increasing or decreasing in profit, depending on what direction each specific area is doing, I

come up with a game plan on a weekly basis for what changes need to be made to make these areas

profitable. I keep track on a daily basis where the store and district are for credit card usage and

registration of new customers.

I am over all of the Marketing and Major Events for the Store and District (23 stores). I plan each

event and what marketing needs to be executed on the Store/District level, what the themes for each

event will be, making all the sales goals and inventing creative games/activities for the associates to

have a fun and successful events.

I, along with one other person, created a District wide training program for all leaders, supervisor

and key holders to ensure that extra training is provided for these positions in order to have well

trained, confident people in our leadership roles throughout the District.

In my first year in this position, my team/store was able to go from ranked 4th in the District to be

ranked number 1 in sales, Jcp credit usage gain over ly and highest increase of a customer service

score with a jump from 263 to a stable 302.
