As a Keyholder I am trusted to open and close the store according to the applicable regulations and protocols. Managing tills, assisting the managers on their duties and always prioritizing the client on the salesfloor, being part of the management team required multitasking under a fast paced environment. I trained employees, worked on the visuals of the store and built lasting relationships with my clients, motivating them to return.
