Experience

sales assistant - Cardland - Lisburn, Bow street mall

(2015-01 - 2017-12)

While i worked in sales it was paramount that i provided any customer with the highest standard of customer service. To ensure that i was able to provide this it was important that i was able to problem solve effectivly. This was important that in some cases customers may not have been happy with the product provided.

It was also vital that i was able to communicate clearly with not only my team members but also customers to ensure that i was able to help them. When working in cardland i was able to develop many skills such as thinking more effectivly on my feet and providing a service.

Within this time frame i have taken on many responsibilities as i have worked alongside all staff members to ensure that a high quality of care has been delivered in each room. i have also had the opportunity to work closely with staff members from all the rooms and therefore have been able to adapt well to each room's routines. I have also carried out many other simple tasks such as preparing snack for the children while promoting a high standard of hygiene.

While working in baby room i was also able to deliver intimate care for example changing nappies i also experienced this while working in toddler room.
