Summary

My name is Josh Hawthorne, I am 20 years old and I am a highly experienced JD Sports Fulltime Sales Assistant known for exemplary team-building and team trainer skills. Gifted at working with all types of personalities, I have a performance history of developing strong collaborative relationships and delivering impressive results both in a team and individual setting.

My current job is a Fulltime Sales Assistant at JD Sports I have been there for 10 months. My pervious job was a casual worker at Guzman Y Gomez Victoria Point. I have worked in the fast-food industry for 5.5 years, and I really enjoyed it. I’m hard working, always willing to learn, try new things and always up for a challenge. I always come with positive mindset and always want to help wherever I can. I have received service commendations by my franchisee for my friendly approach to customer service. I have been appointed to train new crew on sales and have been promoted to Shift Leader.

I graduated from Faith Lutheran College Redlands in 2021. While at Faith Lutheran, I represented the school in various ways such as service to the school, participating in sport events and being selected to be college Vice-Captain.

After graduating high school, in 2022 I commenced a Bachelor of Education at Australian Catholic University in 2022 and have currently deferred this course this year.
