About

I have excellent customer service skills gained from working in the retail sector and take great professional pride in providing consistently high levels of customer care including problem resolution whenever necessary. I am accustomed to working to deadlines and achieving targets, either as part of a team or on an individual basis, without compromising the quality of work. My proven administrative skills include Microsoft Office, Excel and various software applications. My objective is to secure a position either in customer services, retail or administration. My preferred roles are receptionist, sales assistant, stockroom assistant, assistant manager or supervisor.
