Mornington

Summary

I have worked casually on weekends for the past 7 years as a retail assistant at The Ark Clothing Company Geelong store before it closed late 2024.

I spend most weekends in Mornington, where my partner lives and I plan to relocate to Mornington from Geelong, when i retire from my full time pharmaceutical sales role in 2026 and would love to work with the Ark Team once again. I am available most weekends, especially on Saturdays when my partner plays golf.

I will be available to work from November 2025 , after I return from my Italy holiday

I am known for maintaining high standards in store presentation and customer interaction & service. I am a dependable,honest team player with a focus on achieving positive results and adapting to changing store needs. I am proficient in the point-of-sale systems, inventory control & computer skills.
