Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment of my experience so far has been improving our online brand and how we present our store. Updating the image of our social media to make it more appealing to our target market, as well as updating what was previously posted. I have created ads and organised a photoshoot to really show the direction we want to store to go in. We are working on staying up to date with was is new in the industry while still keeping the classic look that our store has.

What advice would you give?

Being able to have good communication skills will go very far. Learning how to talk work with other employees, clients, and vendors to communicate efficiently and friendly will go a long way. When learning the industry with talking to vendors, news outlets to promote events, and other people in the industry being friendly and not defensive when a situation occurs but rather figuring out where things need to go has benefited me tremendously.
