Helping a first-time camper leave the store with exactly the right tent – and come back next season for a backpack – is the kind of retail I enjoy most. I would love to join Trailhead Outfitters as a full-time Sales Associate.

For the past two and a half years I have worked at a sporting-goods store in Round Rock, where I was named Associate of the Quarter three times. Some highlights:

• ranked first of 18 associates for loyalty-card sign-ups, averaging 45 a week
• consistently exceeded my personal sales target, by 22% on average in 2025
• trained six seasonal hires on our POS system, returns policy and product knowledge
• helped reset the footwear wall, which lifted shoe sales by 15% the following month

Outside work I hike most weekends and have completed sections of the Lone Star Hiking Trail, so I can talk honestly about gear from experience. I am comfortable opening and closing the store, handling cash and dealing calmly with unhappy customers. I also enjoy the less visible work – receiving deliveries, keeping the stockroom organised and making sure sizes are on the shelf before customers ask for them.

I am available evenings, weekends and holidays. Thank you for your time – I would be glad to come in and meet the team.
