FedEx Memphis International Hub Memphis, TN (01/2014 10/2014)

Material Handler
FedEx Memphis International Hub is located at the Memphis Airport. My job is to load and unload freight from the aircraft. I am
responsible for driving the freight to the various inputs to be sorted and reloaded into cargo cans. My job title requires me to be
alert and aware at all times. Safety is the number one priority at FedEx next to being ON TIME when handling the operations. I
work with little supervision and am trusted with copious amounts of responsibility. The shift is from 10:30pm-4:00am Monday
through Friday, so I am looking for a second day job that would allow me to utilize my time wisely and maximize my potentials.

Assistant Store Manager
Love Culture is a West Coast based clothing store for young adult women. We strive to stay up-to-date in the latest fashions and
provide the upmost professional standing with customer service. I am one of the full time assistant managers and am over the

Assistant Manager
Claires is a jewelry and accessories retail store that caters to young girls and also specializes in ear piercings. Located in
the Wolfchase Galleria Mall, the store is classified as a high volume and heavy traffic store. As the assistant manager, I am faced
with new challenges every day. From visual updates to customer care, I manage the business full-time. I am also a certified piercer
and pierce anywhere from 5-25 people a day ranging in age from 2 months to elderly. Dealing with a younger crowd demands an
outgoing and upbeat vibe in ones personality. The ability to up sale a product or make a bond with a potential repeating customer
is a must. I am over the organizational department of management. I make schedules, manage the budgeting hours, set goals of
the numbers that should be made each day of business and also assist the store manager in hiring potential sales associates that
seem fit enough to handle the amount of traffic that is attracted to the business.

Sales Associate
Rue 21 is a fashion retail company that targets teens and young adult women. Being a sales associate at Rue 21 turned
into an amazing opportunity that effectively bettered my experience in the retail industry. We participated in competitive sales and
had target items that were mandatory to suggest to the customers. While at Rue 21 I was over visualizing and creative aspects
that bettered the store and made it more attractive to shop in. Numbers showed that while I was in that department of
management, the business doubled its profits. I assisted with planning and visual displays such as placement of signage, updates
on wall visuals and floor plans and mannequin attire.
