Social skills and competences  I am a very social and outgoing person, at Kings Street Appliance, Sales Assistants are responsible for approaching customers to generate their own sales, so our approach and personality towards customers determines our own earnings.

I have some basic team leadership skills, and have lead small teams of other Sales Assistants during in-store monthly sales competitions.

Technical skills and competences  At my current job at Kings Street Appliances, I maintain an adept/expert level knowledge of all major brand and off brand appliance specifications and simple maintenance procedures. I find this only boosts my sales and customer problem resolution rates if a customer contacts me about problems with a previously sold appliance.
