Summary

I am confident, motivated and resourceful, with the ability to adapt and learn quickly when faced with new situations. I have skills and experience when working closely as a team and excellent social and communication skills as well as a friendly, patient personality with a good attitude to others. I am always keen to learn new skills and relish the opportunity to be part of a progressive, organisation that can assist in applying skills and experience. I enjoy working as part of a team but also experienced in working alone and using my own initiative. I am able to talk to a variety of people and can explain ideas clearly, and am empathetic to clients requirements. Above all I am honest, hardworking, trustworthy and I have a good sense of humour. Enjoy talking to customers and problem solving, and using Common Sense.
