EXPERIENCE For the 2023 Christmas Period (September - December ) I was an able to work for Yankee Candle as a Christmas temp sales assistant. Although I only for 4 months, I was able to learn the main skills that are needed when working in retail. I have been taught how to work in the back with stocks,
such as arranging them and getting them out of the delivery boxes, as well as stocking up the shelves on the sales floor and having them look resentful . Throughout my time at Yankee, they were also able to show me how the merchandising works and how to achieve it to aesthetic standards. Aside from learning to work in the sales floor and stock floor, I was also able to learn how to approach customers and how you are to treat them whilst being at work.
I was able to learn that patience is key with a customer as well as respecting their decisions and keeping it together in the case that something was to happen eg: rude customers. I have also been able to learn how hard I can be perfecting shop floors and trying to achieve targets daily. It has taught me that when working, you have to work to the maximum effort that you can achieve.
Yankee was also able to teach me how to look presentable for customers and how discipline is a key factor in the sales process at work. I am now experienced in serving customers and knowing how to treat them. Organising a shop floors and having them look perfected for the public, and finally I am now also experienced in how to handle orders when they come through to the shop stocks, This includes money handling as well.
