  Aug 2013 - Nov 2015

  Jewelry Sales Associate

  I worked as a Fine Jewelry Specialist on Carnival Cruise Lines. Although this was the main department that I worked in due to the nature of cruise ships you work as part of a Team and are therefore required to assist in all retail departments including liquor, beauty, hard and soft logo. I also had to do promotion events to the public and facilitate competitions such as raffles. This was a multi cultural environment and my entire team consisted of people from different countries and nationalities. Show less
