I've been working primarily in retail, with a dash of service, for over a decade and have experience in nearly all aspects of the retail industry. Aside from day-to-day sales floor basics, I've handled stock work, shipping, product curation, product ordering, and even purchasing secondhand vintage product.I am a media junkie all sorts, and excel most in media retail environments. My long history with retail has sharpened my ability to help people find what they're looking for (and even what they don't know they're looking for). Additionally, my many years working in the cosmopolitan Bay Area has exposed me to a vast swath of people of different backgrounds and experiences, and an understanding of how that impacts a customer's needs and desires on a case-by-case basis.If I had to choose, I'd say the work accomplishment I am most proud of is successfully negotiating the sale of a uniquely rare, high-value vintage comic on behalf of a third party such that the buyer, the book's owner, my employer, and myself all came away from the deal enthusiastically satisfied.
