As I reflect on the four years (four years! An entire presidential term?) at Kohl’s, one thing remained the same: my work ethic. I never base how hard I work by how much I earn. I work just as hard for Kohl’s and a “retail salary” as I ever did at NextGen or Bank of America with a “professional salary”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to take a look back of some of my work at Kohl’s just to see how far I have come there as well as how much pride I take in my work. The pride I take in my work is a reflection of me. In addition, the more pride I take in my work and how hard I work to make a difference will be reflected in sales. It is pretty evident that a well-kept and organized store will have better sales than a store that has “ratty looking” shelves where customers can’t find anything. I always wanted my section to be the best in the store to show my appreciation for being able to come to work everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples of my work (aka my merchandising skills) …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I had more pictures than this, but I think this is enough examples of my work ethic and my merchandising skills. I am very proud of the work I did at Kohl’s. I hope the merchandiser that follows me takes as much pride as I did and does it even better than I did. I think that whoever it is shouldn’t just try to replicate what I do, but to exceed what I have done. I exceeded the work that my predecessor did just as I hope my successor does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the Kohl’s I shop at… not because I work there but we shopped there prior to me getting an opportunity to work there. I will continue to shop there. I have friends there. As hard as the work was, I always enjoyed working there. We joke, we talk football, we rarely talk politics, and best of all we respect each other. Maybe that is why I work so hard… because Kohl’s is a great place to work. Great management and great teammates. That is rare in retail, at least in my experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in conclusion… I will take the same work ethic that I had at Kohl’s to my new position at LogicSpeak. It is with that same work ethic that will allow me to succeed at LogicSpeak. I will be able to translate how hard I worked to maintain a department that customers, management and I can be proud of to my job responsibilities at LogicSpeak. I can leave Kohl’s with my head held high. If you need a seasonal or part-time job that you can be proud to work… I highly suggest Kohl’s. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
