I am currently seeking employment to fit around my University Studies. I am available throughout the week and I am able to travel to wherever the local bus routes end. I have experience in a number of backgrounds; coaching and leadership to hospitality and sales. I am hard working, reliable and resilient; and given the opportunity feel very confident that I would bring a professional well rounded attitude to your company. I will work well in any working environment. As a University Student my working experience is limited however after being employed at Hall Garth Hotel and Country Club for nearly five years and being introduced to the fast paced office environment at Learning Curve Group over the Summer of 2016, I know that I can develop strong working relationships with both clients, colleagues and management.
