As a Store Associate, I have experience in accurately processing transactions, ensuring cash drawers balance, and handling discrepancies effectively. Attention to detail is crucial in cash handling to minimize errors and maintain customer trust.

To successfully sell products, I would first engage the customer by asking open-ended questions to understand their needs. Then I would highlight product benefits, suggest complementary items, and leverage any current promotions to encourage a multi-product purchase.

Staying informed about new products is essential in the cannabis industry. I regularly read industry news, participate in company training sessions, and follow brands on social media to keep up with trends and product launches.

In my previous retail role, I collaborated closely with my team to meet sales targets. By communicating effectively, dividing tasks based on individual strengths, and supporting each other during busy periods, we consistently delivered great customer service and achieved our goals.

During busy shifts, I prioritize tasks by evaluating immediate customer needs first, ensuring they receive prompt assistance. After addressing customers, I may delegate or complete tasks such as restocking or cleaning during quieter moments to maintain store organization.

I find interacting with customers the most fulfilling aspect of working in retail. Helping them find suitable products and providing a positive shopping experience brings me satisfaction and motivates me to continue delivering excellent service.

To manage the physical demands of the role, I maintain a strong focus on my health through regular exercise and stretching. I also ensure that I take short breaks to avoid fatigue and stay energized throughout my shift.

Absolutely! I understand that retail hours may vary, and I’m fully prepared to work evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet the needs of the customers and the business.

I'm excited about the opportunity to work at The Hemp Co because of its strong reputation for quality and community involvement. Being part of a company that is redefining the cannabis industry aligns with my values, as I see the positive impact cannabis can have on people's lives.
