Therese Hedwards
Stony Chute,NSW
Summary
I began my working life in the bank where I was trained in customer service skills.
These skills easily transferred into the classroom when I began my teaching career.
I have written and implemented many learning and behaviour management programs in my years as a teacher and I believe these skills will be useful in the customer service role you have advertised.
Teaching has also given me a high skill level in managing others, particularly in highly stressful and emotional environments.
Considering the nature of the position these skills would be useful as well.
I look forward to hearing from you, if you think I may be able to help.
