Experience
CUSTOMER SERVICE | MI FAMILIA MARKET | 6/2009-9/2015
· This was my first job and I still work here during summers when I go back home. I started out as a cashier but over the
years I have had a mixture of task and responsibilities. I help customers find products or answer questions they have. I
have done inventory check, restocking, managed large orders of 800+custom meals with a deadline, cleaning the store
with special cleaning products, and translated when needed. I have learned many skills here overtime, from calculating
inventory necessary to providing customers with positive service that will make them wanting to come back again. I am
currently a cashier here.
