Assistant Store ManagerJos. A. Bank | Dec. 2015 - Present | Morgantown, WVWhile no two days are the same in a retail environment, the attitudes and duties of the managers don’t change. Every day, I strive to keep morale, excitement, and productivity up in the store. In the absence of the store manager, I take cake care of duties like paperwork, customer issues, as well as assist sales executives with selling strategies and training.
Adapt to various customer attitudes and adjust my selling and conversation style to reflect those attitudes
Apply visual merchandising tactics to the store layout to ensure ease of use, reflect current trends and styles, and look aesthetically pleasing
Work with other stores, the corporate office, and customers to make sure operations and situations run smoothly through all facets of the company
