I run an independent bookstore, which sells, to a Christian niche market. The titles cater for people within the Christian community. The books explore Christian living, Christian political thought and the relevance of Christianity within today?s modern society. As an independent bookstore, I specialise in providing second hand, hard to source, collectible books in relation to all things covering Christianity. I am responsible for stock acquisition, pricing, exchange and refund, complaints, staffing, accounts, taxation, legislation and general management.

I decide and administer pricing and sale of books. I handle customer exchanges, refunds and complaints. I am responsible for staffing, holiday and sickness cover. The best part of the job is that I open my store around my personal commitments. I have to ensure that proper legislative requirements are followed.

I have a passion and understanding for Christianity. I have a love and extensive knowledge of the Christian faith. I am able to recognise and value of customer books and pay an appropriate price. I carry out day-to-day accounting and sales promotion. I partake in moderate lifting when restocking. Above all, I enjoy what I do.

I have always had an interest in books and reading is a passion of mine, reading regularly is something I enjoy. I have experience of working in a library and dealing with many different people on a daily basis, helping them and advising them on what they require. I always ensured that my appearance was smart and my communication skills over the phone or in person were always excellent.

We would often have book events and I would promote certain books based on author or genre. The loan system was computerised and I managed the incoming and outgoing of books as well as handling payments for fines.

Often I worked alone and occasionally there would be two or three colleague?s onsite.
I am enthusiastic about books and my experience has given me the knowledge and skills required to be an asset to your business. I am hard working and flexible and always willing to help others.
