Description

OBJECTIVE:
I believe that it is my objective to be the best at what I do. I’ve had a wide range of experiences from being a waiter at a restaurant to becoming a sales and merchandising manager for an apparel brand. For me, it’s not only the accomplishments that I’ve made at my previous positions, but also what I take from the time that I spent at the companies and how I can apply the experiences to current situations. My name is Stephanie Kim and I believe that I can be a great benefit to your company.
