Gift Shop Associate/Stockroom Associate
Audubon Nature Institute
New Orleans, Louisiana
I greeted customers, checked them out, answered any questions they might have, organized and put out merchandise, used small and large ladders to reach merchandise, and cleaned up the gift shops. As a stockroom associate, I organized the stockroom, checked inventory, alerted the warehouse supervisor or manager when we were running low on merchandise, and occasionally worked in the warehouse. In the warehouse, I processed incoming shipments of merchandise, tagged them, and delivered them to the gift shops if needed, then back stocked the rest. Accomplishments I completely rearranged large parts of the gift shop, putting merchandise in areas that would display better than they did before and sell better. I also organized the stock room, partly by finding merchandise that could go out that wasn't out already, and by telling the warehouse what we needed and what we didn't need. Skills Used I used basic math skills to operate the registers, display and merchandising skills to better present our products, organization skills to rearrange the stock room, and attention to detail when checking our inventory. I also became well-versed in Audubon's TAM application, which allowed me check people out and gave me the ability to check the inventory of all of our gift shops and our warehouse.
