Retail Salesperson

According to Jeffrey Gitomer, great salespeople are relationship builders who provide value and help their customers win. A successful Retail Salesperson helps customers ‘win’ when they leave the store satisfied beyond their expectations - not just with the merchandise they intended to purchase but with a viable solution to their problem or means to attain their goal.

Tour Guide

History, culture, nature, and human achievement wait to be discovered in the sites to which Tour Guides take tourists. The visits to scenic natural attractions, historic sites, museums, factories, or other destinations take the form of bus or boat rides or even walking tours. Tour Guides are responsible for their group, sharing the importance of each site they visit and keeping the tour members safe.

Cashier

With cash flow ranked on par with customer satisfaction as the lifeblood of a commercial enterprise, Cashiers strive throughout their workday to act as a seamless and humane link between the two entities.

Travel Influencer

Visiting the Eiffel Tower or eating dinner in a romantic restaurant in Italy - such destinations and activities can refresh your energies and kindle your spirit of adventure.
