I started at Doubletree by Hilton as a housekeeper. I cleaned the bedrooms and bathrooms and made up to beds to the standard of the hotel and within the time frame given to me. While I was working at the Doubletree by Hilton, the top floors were being renovated and when the floors were finished, I received the task of cleaning the renovated floors, which consisted of a deep cleaning. I received this task because of my high attention to detail and my great time management skills. I cleaned all the renovated floors with one of my supervisors and often stayed late to be able to reach a certain deadline. During the last month that I worked at Doubletree by Hilton, I operated as supervisor on many occasions. This included managing other housekeepers, quality checking the rooms that had been cleaned and either fixing mistakes or talking to housekeepers about mistakes made. Additionally I communicated with reception, maintenance and management during the day. I also assisted with the end of day tasks such as updating the system and generating end of day reports.

As a processing worker at a banana farm I completed a number of tasks to get bananas from the field to the clients. I cut away bad bananas and sorted them on the conveyer belt. I also cleaned and packaged the bananas and operated the banana packing machine.

While working for Bofidi as an administrative support worker I handled many tasks. The secretarial part of my job consisted of welcoming clients into the office, making coffee, handling the office mail and making sure it reached the right people, answering client phone calls and emails and handling special client requests from partners.

The administrative side of my job consisted of any type of administrative support for the accountants such as creating new client profiles in the system, assisting with tax statements and returns, scheduling meetings and coordinating appointments.

I worked as a Start People in-house recruiter for a large industrial bakery and together with my team I handled the recruitment and selection of all the casual bakery staff.

I helped design and implement our recruitment strategy and adapted that strategy when the situation called for it, which consisted of deciding which platforms we would use to advertise the jobs and spending a lot of time calling up potential employees.

I learned how to effectively conduct different types of interviews, such as an in-person interview, phone interview and video interview and learned how to assess applicants' relevant knowledge and skills.

Also, I handled the informative sessions that we organised for potential employees and prepared all the necessary recruitment materials, put together and gave the presentation and processed the potential employees' information afterwards.

I managed all the casual bakery staff and communicated daily in an efficient way with the bakery department heads and the rest of my team. I also would assemble the schedules provided by the department heads of the bakery each week and find suitable employees to fill empty spots.

Additionally, I generated the monthly reports and presented them to the bakery management and other teams.
