Skills

One of my key strengths is teamwork. Working in a fast-paced retail environment required me to collaborate effectively with colleagues to ensure smooth store operations, maintain stock standards, and meet sales targets. I am adaptable and able to support my team to create a seamless shopping experience for customers.

I also have a strong client-centred approach, always ensuring that customers feel valued and receive the best possible service. My experience in retail has taught me how to engage with a diverse range of customers, understand their needs, and provide tailored assistance, whether it’s recommending products or handling queries efficiently.

Additionally, I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, which allow me to confidently interact with both customers and colleagues. I am comfortable in social situations and thrive when helping customers find what they need.

Finally, I am flexible and able to work under pressure, managing busy periods effectively while maintaining a positive attitude. I understand the importance of being adaptable, whether it’s adjusting to new promotions, assisting with stock replenishment, or handling multiple tasks at once.

These skills, combined with my passion for retail and fashion, make me well-suited for this role at JD Sports.

About

My name is Quincey Yemeli, and I am a university student who has recently completed my Law degree at the University of Birmingham. I am now looking to continue working in retail, building on my previous experience at Zara, where I developed strong customer service and sales skills.

Working at Zara allowed me to thrive in a fast-paced retail environment, where I engaged with customers daily, maintained stock standards, and contributed to achieving sales targets. I enjoy working with fashion and connecting with people, ensuring they receive the best shopping experience possible. My ability to work effectively as part of a team, adapt to new challenges, and stay knowledgeable about current trends aligns well with the expectations of a Seasonal Sales Assistant at JD Sports.

I am confident, proactive, and motivated, with excellent communication skills that allow me to engage with customers and colleagues alike. I am also flexible and willing to work various shifts, including weekends and holidays, to support the store’s needs.

I would love the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm, retail experience, and passion for fashion to JD Sports at Birmingham Airport.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my application further.
