OWNER/CREATOR
Summary
I am throughly interested in holding a position as a Sales Associate, Visitor Services Member, Art Gallery Assistant, Visitor Services Associate in a museum. As an active team member I continually improve the production pipeline, tools, systems, and visual integrity of company products and artistic venues. My previous experiences as a sales associate have given me practice welcoming customers, respectfully showing visitors where an item is located in a store with ease, answering customer inquiries via phone or in person, and handling transactions at the register as a cashier. I was assigned to clean the sales floor, break room, and restrooms as well. I am also an artisan who works primarily with wood, clay, paper, hardbound books, and up-cycled materials. Suffice it to say that I have a heightened sense of how to handle materials, love nature, and I am very familiar with how to upkeep a work environment for the sake of efficiency. In addition to the aforementioned, I restocked inventory, readjusted inventory records via computer, and up-kept stock's appearance on the sales floor as well. These experiences have sharpened my troubleshooting skills and I leave no stone unturned as an active team player with my co-workers and management. I look forward to meeting you in person to discuss this opportunity. Thank you so much, Samantha DiLacqua As an active team member and visitor services assistant I continually improve the production pipeline, tools, systems, and visual integrity of all companies' facilities and artistic venues. My objective is to fuse my approachable demeanor, customer service skills, creative mind, and resourcefulness at a workplace.
Experience

  • The size of the case's hardwood frame correlates to the size of the book cover and can be used for storing items like jewelry, I.D.'s, money, photographs, pencils, coins, etc.
  • The hardwood frame has a neodymium (rare earth) magnet embedded into it to prevent the case's contents placed inside from falling out accidentally so it can be or placed upright on display or placed inside a bag safely.
