HomeArt

On arrival each day I prepare the register for the day ensuring the float has adequate change. Respond to any emails from Regional and State managers, Inventory control and finance. 
Once the store is open I identify any changes that need to made regarding daily specials, setup and ticketing, e.g. bulk stacks or dressing windows
All customers are greeted on entrance into the store. 
Throughout the day shelves and trollies are constantly being recovered. Routine tasks are completed including banking, rosters, cleaning, inventory control from storeroom to shop floor and dealing with any deliveries that arrive.
At end of day recovery is done to ensure all merchandise is tidy and ready for the next day. Banking to be prepared and a daily reports to be completed.
My Regional Manager visits the store on a regular basis so we can work on strategies to lift sales or improve the appearance of the store.
I enjoy dealing with the customers and gain satisfaction from helping them select items for purchase. I also take great pride in the fact of meeting budget on a regular basis.
The most difficult  aspect of the job is dealing with the deliveries as it is extremely physical work. Deliveries arrive twice a week of an average of 4 pallets but could be as many as 10. Each delivery is to be unpacked and put out as quickly as possible.
Ongoing training is conducted with all staff re product knowledge and customer service.

A typical day at homeart... 8am start make sure store is tidy for a new day, check for price changes, any important company news, emails, and daily task list, count register,open by 9am.

A great place to work always new products and fun new store themes.
At my time at homeart i learnt may new skills including working with kpis daily budgets, new sales skills and alot about Homewares.

Managment were great i was very close with my manger and area manager as were all my co-workers , i had the opportunity to work through out the hunter area and met alot of people in different stores.

Hardest part of the job was the heavy lifting i wasnt the biggest fan.

Most enjoyable art of the job was everyday was different.

A typical day at my work would first start off by putting away any stock that might have arrived that morning, then it goes on to just keeping the shop stocked and everything in its place, always looking neat and tidy. Eg. cleaning displays, sweeping, mopping, etc. Management is very good at Homeart because they are always there when you need them. I get along very well with my co-workers. The hardest part of this job would have to be sometimes trying to keep on top of stock as we can recieve more than we need. The most enjoyable part of this job is working with people and be one on one with customers.

Serve customers, unload stock and put away, clean floors/benches/windows. 

How to open and close a store, end of day sales, banking, how to present a store, how to sell a product.

Management wasn't the best, the store I worked at didn't have a manager for over a month, and put more stress on the other employees. 

My co-workers were great and enjoyable to work with.

untrustworthy customers, trying to steal things and argue about it, but I was able to talk them out of it. 

Going home after a long day .

It was a productive and fun workplace with great staff and customers, lead by an outstanding store manager.  I learnt lots of new skills and it was a great environment to work in every day was fun and we'd just about need to be kicked out as we enjoyed it so much.  It had a clear outline of store policies and regulations in place.  Overall sad to see it go.

The job itself I enjoyed thoroughly, I enjoyed communicating with customers and I learnt many things about time management.
Unfortunately my manager was fired despite store profit gain since the previous financial year. There was no reason given for her dismissal so in turn, concerned about my job stability and disagreeing with their company ethics, resigned. The store soon closed after failing newly appointed management.

A typical work day would include re stocking, handling customer, cleaning, and setting up props.

I learnt how to handle customers and understand body langue throughout this job, The co-workers I worked with were super lovely and I got along with all of them therefore work was a lot easier. 

The hardest part of my job would've been learning how to use the till and learn how to use the computer. The most enjoyable part of my job was all of it.

To set individual budgets for the day make sure that the customers are greeted with in a couple of minuets of them entering the store to be pleasant and helpful
To have knowledge of the product you are selling,,
Setting daily tasks for my staff and make sure they are completed  Dealing with abusive and angry customers 
Meeting and getting to know regular customers and working in a happy team environment

Keeping the store clean.
Approaching and helping customers if needed.
Filling, clearing and moving stock from and to shelves.
Friendy staff, we all get along.
The hardest part is finding things to do when sales are slow.
I find working with the stock most enjoyable. i keeps me moving and gives me something steady to do for a while

A typical day attending to customers, selling products, cleaning and tidying the store , chasing up laybys.
The hardest part was the deliveries lots of heavy lifting.
The most enjoyable was the staff and management understanding when needed time off and swapping shifts.
