After working at Babies R Us for a few months, I was promoted to sales associate with special privileges. This meant I was able to authorize certain purchases and returns that regular cashiers could not. Most shifts I spent managing the guest service desk, assisting in guest orders, processing returns, creating registries, and answering incoming calls. Often times I had to develop out-of-the-box solutions to complicated guest issues and translate for Spanish speaking customers. I achieved the highest number of customer credit card applications out of every other associate in the store and was the first teenager to be awarded Employee of the Month.
