Working at three different companies that all dealt with customers service was a great experience. The top three things I acquired with my experience are leadership, communication, and teamwork. When I first started working, I was quiet and shy, but with time I learned how to show confidence to express myself and I eventually came out of my shell. My first two jobs were both fast food restaurants. There I work with a lot of people whose ages ranged from 15 – 70. I gradually moved up and got promoted from a team member to a trainer, to a crew leader, and all the way up to a team leader. As a team leader I was responsible for the entire team. I made sure that we were maintaining a safe and friendly environment while working on our various assigned jobs. I made sure to be available for the team at all times and kept things in order.

My last job (current job) deals with retail. As a team member in retail, I got the experience not just working as a team, but also working alone. I love gaining lots of experience in different departments, so I asked the management if they would be able to let me explore different departments in the store and luckily for me, the request was granted. At this point in my career, I have not only gained skills in customer service, but also in style department, strong communication, multitasking, problem solving, etc.
