Summary

I am a driven and dedicated person with 4 years of experience working in food service at Waitrose and Partners. Additionally, I am a reliable hospitality attendant who has experience in waitressing and bar work. I am in Melbourne on a working holiday visa and am seeking full time work. Being located centrally means that I am able to commute in and around the city quickly. I have recently completed the Australian Barista School to further my knowledge of being a barista in Melbourne. I have the ability to work fast paced whilst maintaining good customer service as well as being able to pick up skills quickly but effectively. With combined knowledge of retail and hospitality, I believe I would be an asset to your team!
