"I was a Sales Associate in the Men's Shoes and Suits Department for less than a year, but I learned so much about customer service as was implemented at Macy's. My fellow employees were helpful, and the environment allowed for personal innovation within a defined employment goal. My manager was always there as a support system, and provided constructive reviews to help me improve my abilities. This is a skill set that I will be able to carry with me into whatever profession I decide to pursue."
