• 

  L'OCCITANE Group

  Sept 2012 - Feb 2013

  Stock Manager

  I found L'Occitane in my search for a second job after LUSH. They hired me as a part time associate to manage the stock and offsite storage facility during the holidays. It was a great job and I was able to really exercise my organizational skills. The massive quantity of shipment for such a tiny store was overwhelming at times, but made me great at being able to step back from a situation and look at it objectively. How could I fit 2,000 units of product in a 8'x6' storage room? that was my daily dilemma there. Always solved. Show less
