Summary
My career has been dedicated to nursing. At 55 years old I decided to retire and return to my existing role for 2 days per week. However I would really like a new challenge and have always had a passion for skin care and makeup.
Although I have no experience of retail, nursing has many of the skills required for a role within retail, including the ability to deal with many different people providing excellent customer service. People describe me as being warm and personable and I thrive when working with a team. I am really hard working and very willing to learn.
