- Extremely adaptable and flexible, Studying in South Africa as an internal student and then in New Zealand as an external student while working was a successful, although different, experience which I handled well and am excelling in. While working at Allround Foods Ltd I have adapted to and worked on three different accounting systems.
- Organising time effectively, While studying for my accounting degree and working full-time hours. During my degree I have had many deadlines to meet alongside work deadlines.
- Meticulous and high attention to detail, While working for Allround Foods Ltd I have had to diligently work through many problems which require high attention to detail such as reconciliations, stock takes, checking off outbound stock, to name a few. Worked as a waitress at Bluewater Bar & Grill which required being thorough in taking multiple orders from large groups as well as extremely busy 'event' nights, often with changing menus.
- Problem solver and critical thinker, Whilst managing the Allround Foods Ltd Palmerston North branch alongside the branch manager, daily problems such as broken trucks and/or freezers require immediate and effective solutions. At Allround Foods Ltd had to handle a dispute at the Dispute’s Tribunal. When preparing statements of financial position and performance, identifying outliers and unreasonable results requires problem solving by thinking critically and out of the box.
- Team player and leader, Improved Allround Foods Ltd’s sales by in years and led up to five staff members including training three sales representatives alongside the branch manager. LRC in grade 11 and prefect in grade 12.
