Byron Bay

Summary

I relocated to Byron Bay 6 months ago and have had a steady job for that time. Sadly, the company I work for has decided to close our Byron store and rather than relocating again so soon, I would like to expand my horizons further in the local area. I'm focused and eager to learn with strong understanding of retail operations and customer service. Offering 8 years of experience and 3 in high-volume settings as a manager. Enthusiastic and attentive with customers and employees alike. Dedicated and responsible retail professional with demonstrated skills in processing payments, restocking shelves, promoting sale items and working in a team or independently.
