  Sales Associate

  As a Store Associate, I worked in a customer facing role with a high footfall. One of my many responsibilities included working on the cashier desk, where I interacted with customers first hand and processed payments, returns, and click and collect orders. I also helped maintain stock on the shopfloor and advised customers with any queries or complaints. I have improved my confidence and communication skills with my role at TK Maxx, as I worked in a fast-paced environment that requires resilience when dealing with frequential interactions with customers, and store related activities.
