"I have worked in retail for the past eight years. My most challenging position was with Company ABC. I found it so challenging because it was a different industry than I was accustomed to, but I learned a great deal during that time. This position was also my favorite because it was such a great challenge. I like to be pushed beyond my boundaries. It keeps me motivated to be better."

"While I haven't yet worked in a retail environment, I'm excited to start! I love learning new things, especially when it comes to working with and serving people. In college, I worked at a writing lab where I helped younger students correct essays and prepare for English exams. That experience helped me learn how to listen to people's needs, practice patience, and develop tools to help frustrated students feel more at ease. I think that experience will set me up for success in the retail industry."
