Summary

I aspire to secure employment in the retail and customer service sectors. My past work experience includes roles in cleaning, retail stores and as a receptionist. I am known for my professional appearance and friendly demeanor, along with my exception time management skill and adaptability to different procedures. I have a strong willingness to learn and embrace new responsibilities. While I excel in a team setting, I am also capable of independently completing tasks using my own initiative. I am a hardworking, dedicated and reliable employee. I am available to work Monday through to Friday at anytime and can start immediately.
