(Jun 2011 - Dec 2012) Being a frontline cashier meant that my priority was to complete the customer's shopping experience by ensuring a positive, easy, and efficient check out. I was recognized as one of the department's leading cashiers by meeting a "void total" goal of ≤ 2.75% with a score of 2.36%, preventing fraud on several occasions, and helping out other departments.(Dec 2012 - May 2015) Being part of the FSHO and HD departments, my focus was on (1) the accurate distribution of merchandise from the in-store warehouse directly to the customer, (2) creating and scheduling home-deliveries and assembly orders, and (3) investigating and resolving any issues regarding after-sales. Recognized as one of the department's leading members, I was able to train newly hired colleagues, cross-train in other departments to further my knowledge, and participated in several staff meetings to brainstorm and initiate new ideas.
