"I like to take time to prepare for the week by organizing my schedule every Monday morning. I make sure all of my meetings are marked on my calendar and set reminders about important deadlines. I understand that changes can interrupt my daily flow, and I can adapt and stay calm when those shifts occur throughout the week. I am efficient, getting my work done within 40 hours each week. I have also proven myself to be flexible to stay late when I need to finish a project or if one of my co-workers needs assistance."

When I start my shift, the first thing I usually do is sift through all products and remove anything rotten. This is called culling. I then position all merchandise so it appears presentable for our customers. Then I fill all the gaps on the displays, so they always appear full because anything almost or completely empty is unattractive, and we are committed to selling the highest quality products.
