The best example of my leadership is at my job at Sears Holdings as a cashier. My initial orientation group was of about 15. I and another associate are the only ones left. As I am the cashier with the third most experience, and have trained about 90% of the other cashiers we have, I have taken a leadership position. Most the time, if another cashier is having a problem, even if they are far older than me, they call me over to help them. My responsibilities are to work with customers and provide them with a good customer service experience. I have to get people to sign up for our credit cards and membership program. I lead in this area as well because I have gotten over 600 people to apply for a credit card in a year, which is far greater
