RODRIGO PESSOA

Auckland,AUK

Summary

I have been living in New Zealand since 2018, initially working in the construction industry until I obtained my resident visa. Currently, I am engaged in casual work while seeking a permanent position in Auckland to restart my career.

I am a highly motivated Retail Store Supervisor with extensive experience in customer service and the retail industry. I have a proven ability to lead teams, drive sales to meet targets, and provide training, inspiration, and coaching. I am passionate about visual merchandising and store presentation, with a successful track record in retail management focused on customer satisfaction. I possess exceptional collaborative and interpersonal skills, making me a dynamic team player who works well with others. I am extremely organized, detail-oriented, and adept at problem-solving, proactive work, and performing under pressure.

In addition to my professional skills, I have a strong affinity for extreme sports. I am an avid surfer, skateboarder, snowboarder, and soccer player. I love being outdoors and embrace the board-riding lifestyle.
