Rachel Horobin

I have just finished my third year of University at Edinburgh studying medicine and am looking for work over the summer.
About

I have extensive experience in a variety of customer-facing roles, including working in bars, a café, and at M&S. These roles have helped me develop strong interpersonal skills and the ability to adapt my communication style to suit a wide range of people. I’ve learned the importance of clear, friendly communication, working efficiently as part of a team, and staying calm and professional under pressure. This was especially vital during my month working at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where I had to manage long queues, respond quickly to customer needs, and maintain high service standards at all times. These experiences deepened my ability to engage warmly with people of all ages and backgrounds and effectively build rapport, qualities I believe are essential in hospitality.
