    • Hobbyco

      Jul 2019 - May 2021

      After attaining a diverse knowledge of as many products and brands as possible, I was given the opportunity to run a pop-up store in Castle Hill from October 2019 to February 2020 just 3-months later from starting out in the business. I was taught how to be independent as the store mainly had one person running the store for the day.This created a foundation for my improved leadership and independence on how to handle pressure and difficult customers. A new store opened in Chatswood in August 2020 where I was offered to be the first store manager which pushed me to further levels of responsibility. New staff were hired and I was training them on how to engage customers and maintain the store. Christmas season 2020 became the busiest time when a mini pop-up booth opened in the same mall which means I had to manage two locations at the same time with more staff. The results for December 2020 went very well for the new Chatswood store that the sales expectations went passed the targets by about double.Responsibilities for this role includes:- Opening and closing of the store- Store management (setting up new promotions, cleaning, visual merchandising and shelf replenishing)- Training of new staff on customer service and POS system- Customer service Show less Hobbyco is a business that focuses on selling hobby items such as toys, games, model kits, modelling tools and paints, model trains, R/C cars, diecast vehicles, STEM kits and more.I was given the opportunity to work in a retail environment where I would experience merchandising, stock checks and customer service. The duties for this role are:- Stock pricing and count- Utilising POS system for salesI was originally focused on the model kits section of the store but I personally did not enjoy "zoning" and stocking to my sector. So I decided to push myself to learn a little bit of every other sector and how they are managed. Eventually I have gained knowledge on the hobbies of R/C vehicles, board games and model trains. I even pushed myself to study the brands/manufacturers of the products, what types of products are to be released for customers and how to approach customers. Show less
