Olivia Smith Minor: International Human Sciences and Business Current Company: Jimmy Choo Job title: Sales Associate What from your days at Auburn has helped you the most? Time management I learned from being in leadership with Apparel Merchandising and Design Association and the The Fashion Event at Auburn University! Also, organization and confidence I developed throughout my 4 years at Auburn. What is your favorite thing you have learned at your company?  I’ve learned your network and connections are so important. It is crucial to invest time into relationships so you will have people to lean on when you need it most and you can do the same in return. What has been the most challenging part of working at your current company?  I’m lucky that have the support system I do including Auburn faculty and my fellow alumni! Life after college is what I expected but it’s more expensive and harder than I thought. People can be unpredictable and the superiors can be the problem. You will continue to grow and develop. So everyone is adapting and changing around you constantly including yourself. It’s important to find a workplace where you are truly valued and appreciated for your efforts and where you see an opportunity for growth. War Eagle!

Retail employees are like diamonds in disguise, hidden gems of talent and potential. Many of the best leaders and specialists I have worked with, have come from Retail or another customer centric role. 👉 Picture this: Merchandising a holiday outerwear display with unwavering focus. It's not just retail, it's a stage for creativity, leadership, and problem-solving skills. 🔍 'Overqualified' takes a different hue here. It’s not about excess qualifications, but about untapped potential. Retail jobs are often seen as stepping stones, but let's not overlook the reservoir of talent! 🎩 The store manager skillfully juggles inventory, customer service, training, hiring... They're strategic planners, people developers, crisis handlers - much more than just a manager. 🤝 And the sales associate, they don't just sell. They're product whizzes, psychologists, diplomats - turning browsing customers into loyal ones. 👏 Retail employees, you're not overqualified - you're underestimated! It's time the industry recognizes your true value. 💎 💭 So next time you're in a retail store, look beyond the name tag. If you agree, share your thoughts or tag someone who needs to see this! #RetailHeroes #HiddenTalent #Underestimated
