Summary

I am extremely motivated person driven to provide high-quality work with adept knowledge in working quickly without sacrificing results and quality. I am ready to bring 8 years' trade experience as a painter and decorator in the construction industry and newly acquired retail knowledge to further invest myself within the business and operations management industry. I am a team player with strong organizational skills, and the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy. I pride myself on being able to Liaison between myself, co-workers, and the customer while maintaining professionalism and having an eye for detail and precision. I am proven to be able to work independently and complete tasks while unsupervised and have intermediate knowledge on operating various POS systems including Pronto. In my current retail role in the tool industry, I developed a diverse skill set that has proven invaluable in managing commercial and general retail customer relationships. By focusing on business development and quoting, I ensured that clients received tailored solutions that met their specific needs, while my quick progression into resource management as store supervisor and job delegating allowed for efficient project execution. I also took the initiative to update and implement operational standards as the head of store safety, which streamlined processes and enhanced customer satisfaction both online and in store. My commitment to trade research and development enabled me to stay ahead of industry trends, ensuring I could offer innovative solutions to everyone coming through the door. This combination of skills not only strengthened my relationships with customers but also contributed to their ongoing success and loyalty of our brand. I always strive to be a hardworking employee enthusiastic about learning in new roles and contributing positively to a team environment. I would be grateful for your trust in Pursuing opportunities to learn new skills and contribute to your business success and believe that I could adapt to your ever-growing opportunities and skill requirement that I am seeking from business.
