I have over twenty years’ experience as a senior executive manager & district/regional manager. I have strong technical skills and proficiency in word processing, databases, and spreadsheets. In addition, I have successfully provided support services to a eighteen-member sales manager team. I consider myself a highly qualified retail professional whose career has been marked by consistent successes. I love my work and relish the challenges, my job performance has always demonstrated those facts. I am strongly motivated to find a position that will allow me to exercise my extensive leadership, merchandising and organizational skills, and I feel that can be achieved with your organization. My track record of improving employee morale, decreasing shrink and increasing sales has been a hallmark of my professional life. I’d like the opportunity to tell you more about my work experience and how my skill set could contribute to the successful day-to-day running of your company. I’d be happy to supply strong references at your request.
