Autobiography My work history is a long list, but there are only a few jobs that make me who I am. I started working when I was 13 years old, and that’s where I began learning responsibility. I’ve worked at many restaurants during my teen years. Then after I graduated from high school,
I started my first real job at RadioShack. From there I worked at Best Buy. I sold cell phones and computers there. After Best Buy, I was offered a job at Verizon Wireless as a sales agent and this is currently where I work and I love what I do! RadioShack was my first real job, I started there as a Seasonal Sales Associate in the Eastwood Mall in Niles, Oh. During the holidays I proved myself by selling over one hundred phones a month for the 3 months I was seasonal and they decided to hire me in as a permanent employee. After a few months I was moved to the kiosk in the middle of the mall which was strictly wireless. Due to the fact cellphones was where I excelled they wanted me to focus on just that.
As a few more months have passed, I was so well liked at RadioShack that I built such a customer rapport I sold more and more and I received a recognition award for selling over $500,000 worth of Gross Profit for the company. Six months in to my job, there talk about separating the kiosk from the store and there would need to be a manager. So, I applied for the position and after weeks of interviews I was chosen for the job. My duties went from just selling to scheduling, doing inventory, conference calls, meetings, interviewing, and so much more. I worked hard and sold phone after phone the profits rose and the sky was the limit for me. So as the months progressed they haven’t established a proper inventory replenishment system for my store. Therefore, my stock was dwindling, and I was running out of phones to sell. This really put a damper on my stores stats and they ended up shutting it down and I quit due
