Accomplishments
I had the opportunity to assist the buyer to purchase Fall 2020 accessories for the boutique. I was in charge of choosing the colors and styles of Betty Hargan hand-made leather earrings. I was also in charge of updating the West Boutique Instagram daily, as well as styling outfits and completing social media photoshoots.
Learning experience
A few of the greatest lessons I learned are: confidence is key, building customer and employee relationships is very important for the overall success of the company and your own experiences, and always ask questions.
What advice would you give?
Always be yourself, have a willingness to learn at all times, and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone. Don’t forget to make time for yourself! Self-care is crucial in order to perform to the best of your ability on the job.
