Experiences at Wal-Mart Stores

Not being able to spend enough time with my daughter.

It really is all about the Customer be them internal or external. No matter what position I held within Wal-Mart it was always about the customer, and that's what I enjoy doing helping people. People interaction, helping to solve opportunities, to train people, educate them.

I actually was hired on through a temporary service, because the Freight Payment area needed help. The Supervisor in charge was very impressed with my work, so she hired me on as a full time Wal-Mart Associate.

Found merchandise and answered questions for customers.
Made sure that the furniture department was kept clean and all freight is accounted for.
Ordered and stocked merchandise on the sales floor as accurate as possible.
Explained to sales associates how to perform their job efficiently.

I ran the Home Entertainment Department in Sterling, Va. The Photo Center in Fruitland, MD and the Connection Center in Salisbury, MD.

The secret is to interview and present yourself in a positive manner.

I have worked as a Photo Center Manager Department in Electronics and Wireless Connection Center
