I was promoted to a retail sales manager shortly after taking a position as a part time sales person. I was then transferred within three stores to correct issues, build better teams, and learned many management techniques from various managers and district managers.

I utilized my skills to do a variety of repairs ranging from: automotive, building and computers. I also did basic lawn maintenance and landscape work. I implemented a variety of marketing and management techniques to price jobs to generate profit while being competitive with pricing.
