Summary

Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I am willing to give a thing a try and am a quick learner. I strive to be professional and to complete my work to a high standard. I retain a level 1 HACCP course in Ireland, recently updated. I have also worked as kitchen wash up and assistant. My previous work as a waitress and kitchen aid will certainly help me start off in any position. As well as this my duties included a high standard of cleaning in both accommodation and in kitchens, bathrooms and restaurant settings. In the busy season of my previous job I worked in accommodation, where I made beds, did laundry and ironing as well as greeting guests. I strive to be punctual and take pride in my work.
