maintain	a	high	standard	of	service	in	a	busy	work	environment.	Constant	interaction	with	customers

As	a	Sales	Assistant	during	the	busy	Christmas	period,	I	was	required	to	serve	a	large	volume	of	
customers	in	a	short	period	of	time.	This	is	a	crucial	period	in	the	year	for	the	business	in	terms	of	
sales	and	reaching	targets,	therefore	I	quickly	developed	my	abilities	to	efficiently	process	sales	to	
maximise	the	sales	capacity	of	the	store.	I	was	also	required	to	ensure	that	the	sale	of	products	was	
matched	with	the	timely	restocking	of	the	store	front	in	order	to	maintain	supply	in	the	face	of	high

Here,	I	successfully	put	techniques	I	had	learnt	into	practice	whilst	ensuring	the	final	product	matched	
both	the	expectations	of	the	customer	and	of	my	employers.	This	role	is	highly	customer-orientated	
and	requires	both	knowledge	of	cutting/styling	hair	and	an	ability	to	recognise	what	each	customer	
desires.	Succeeding	within	this	role	allowed	me	to	draw	upon	my	inter-personal	skills	whilst	building	
relationships	with	both	clients	and	colleagues.
