At Maplin Electronics I was tasked with providing information about the products available for sale. I also work at the checkout desk and was often required to handle difficult customer complaints while staying well mannered. The role was very sales-target based, with my great understanding of computers and technologies I was able to help customers resolve technical problems and increase sales through introducing them to new products. On occasions I had to receive stock delivery and process it into the system, replenish stock on the shop floor and locate products in the warehouse. I took on extra management tasks such as checking inventory for empty locations, checking discrepancy reports and implementing new planograms as I wanted to further challenge myself. Show less
