Fun with customer service. You can imagine, I'm sure.- But seriously, I took great pride in providing excellent support to all customers, solving any problem I could and helping them find anything they needed. - I specialized in helping customers with difficult or obscure clothing problems locate products or solutions, always going the extra mile when possible -- even if that meant recommending another store chain, or contacting warehouses. - I worked this job part-time during college semesters, and full-time seasonally.- Was recognized for excellence in my department multiple times.- No job should have its value dismissed, no matter how small!
