Merchandising was a big task due to the volume or products in the department in which I worked, hardware. It is essential to have a good knowledge base of the products in order to achieve sales. Customer care was probably the most rewarding responsibility for this position as it taught me how to describe technical details and instructions to individuals who do not have the same level of technical experience that I have accumulated. It also fostered an ability to solve a single problem in a variety of ways with detailed constraints that also had to be done quickly. With this home improvement/hardware store location being so close to Purdue, I fielded some very difficult questions ranging from "How do I build a 16th century loom"​ to "How to construct a support apparatus for a theoretical reactor".Task List:• Generated and processed purchase orders• Assisted customers utilizing technical product knowledge and application• Designed plans for customer build projects• Implemented new store layouts and merchandising strategies Show less

After 8th grade I sought out employment at a local grocery store. I kept that job for 4 years. During those four years, I learned how to direct work flow, manage inventory, and fulfill long term goals. I did this all the while going to school and maintaining good grades with a difficult coarse load.
