Summary

Personable and Empathetic person with a wide range of skills within the service and retail industry, including strong customer service, excellent problem solving skills and the ability to work effectively both alone and as a team.

I am open to most categories of work, whether that be within a familiar field or within a brand new experience. Either way I can assure you, a valuable asset to your team, bringing strong skills, open hearted communication, and a vibrant smile for anyone who deserves it. (And that's everyone)

Work History

Waitress, Kitchen Hand, Barista, Bartender

The Lonsdale Hotel
06.2022 - 11.2022
  • I worked in a range of roles in both Front of House and Back of House. This opportunity pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and take on new tasks I hadn't experienced before - of which I took to intuitively and quickly found myself a valuable and central part of the team
  • Roles included dishwashing, food prep, delivering meals and tending to patrons, taking orders, serving alcohol and preparing hot drinks, all in a fast paced family restaurant environment.

Shopkeeper

Happy Herbs
03.2020 - 04.2022
  • A very interesting and expansive role where I worked efficiently predominantly alone, communicating with my co-workers and managers
  • Over my time here I grew some invaluable skills and unearthed a deep confidence in my abilities and independence.
  • Tasks ranged from opening through to closing the store. This included cleaning, receiving, counting and putting away stock, preparing product displays, sales and up-selling, gaining and exercising knowledge on a range of medicinal herbs and their uses, and a tailored and personal customer service experience for the vast range of customers. It was also my responsibility to tend the tills and do a count twice a day on the open and close, ensuring the store was secure until the next shift.


Retail Assistant

JB-Hifi
11.2019 - 02.2020
  • A fast paced, ever changing environment where I learnt to think on my feet, work with team-mates to problem solve and assist customers during the busy Christmas period
  • I was mainly stationed at the point of sale, ensuring the pipeline from customer to back of house ran smoothly, following procedure and ensuring patrons enjoyed a friendly and efficient service. I also served roles in the warehouse, counting and putting away stock, and spent some time on the shop floor assisting customers within my designated department and maintaining a safe, functional and visually effective shopfront.


Sandwich Artist

Subway
02.2018 - 10.2018
  • Subway is a fast paced restaurant with busy lunch-time rushes and a lot of behind the scenes food preparation and store maintenance.
  • I picked up a lot of new skills very quickly, and learnt how to effectively switch between tasks, work on a production line and learnt to open and close.
  • Roles included sandwich building, customer service, food health and safety and prep, tidiness, team-work, and working the register.

Retail Assistant

Cotton On
11.2017 - 01.2018
  • Here I gained point of service skills and continued to grow my confidence and customer service abilities
  • I grew immensely in efficiency, and as a Christmas Casual, I learnt to work in an incredibly fast paced environment, working with my team members to ensure all were cared for and the shop remained tidy, and efficient.
  • Roles included working the register, shop hygiene, greeting customers, and sales. The team and I worked with incentives and KPIs


Hair Salon Assistant

The Salon
02.2015 - 09.2016


  • Roles included greeting customers and taking bookings, tidying the shop floor, mixing hair colours, coffee runs and laundry.
  • Being a small intimate shop, we had a lot of returning clients. This is where I first began to move out of a shy shell and learnt to work closely with others, team mates and customers alike.
