    • Coop supermarkets

      Jan 2014 - Apr 2022

      I worked as a department manager and assistant manager. Given that the supermarket can be classified as small to medium-sized, these roles were performed simultaneously. As a department manager, I oversaw the daily operations of the fruits and vegetables section. Additionally, in my role as an assistant manager, I had a more overarching responsibility by managing other departments and ultimately assuming a leadership role in the supermarket. I worked as a team leader, overseeing a team of 15+ stockers. Started at a young age in the family business Coop Dekker. I began as a stocker and cleaner.

      Jan 2018 - Jan 2023

      I grew up in an entrepreneurial environment, which contributed to my passion for starting and running my own business. Sharing this passion with my two brothers led to the founding of our company: Degenkamp Retail. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring at the pre-university level in various subjects, including History, English, and Mathematics (A). This experience has significantly enhanced my ability to convey complex concepts in an understandable manner. It has also contributed to my growth as a patient and empathetic educator. Fortunately, I can proudly say that, with consistent guidance and support, my students have made remarkable progress in their academic achievements.

      I worked as a software tester in a SCRUM environment. Primarily, I conducted manual tests and communicated the results with the IT team. Beyond testing itself, I quickly took on additional responsibilities, including brainstorming new ideas or improvements, conveying them to programmers through the creation of user stories, testing, processing feedback, managing the product backlog, and overseeing the deployment from the test environment to the production environment. Backlog management was conducted using MONDAY software. Show less

This sharpened my communication skills and helped me successfully interact with people from around the world.2. Independence and Problem-Solving Skills:Along the way, we encountered numerous unexpected challenges and obstacles, such as language barriers and navigation issues. This experience greatly enhanced my ability to independently solve problems and made me more resilient.3. Lifetime Memories:This journey has provided me with priceless memories and fueled my personal growth. It taught me to be open to new experiences and appreciate the significance of adventure in life. This adventure expanded my worldview and imparted valuable life lessons, shaping me into a more resilient, adaptable, and open-minded professional.I am grateful for the opportunity to have undertaken this journey and look forward to applying the lessons learned in my future professional endeavors.
