Although my tenure at Lloyds Banking Group lasted only six months, I was entrusted with a range of significant responsibilities that demonstrated the trust placed in me by management. In my dual role as a cashier and customer service assistant, I was responsible for independently managing my own cashier booth, a task that required a strong sense of accountability, attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure. A core part of my role involved interacting with customers on a daily basis. I took pride in addressing their queries and concerns with the utmost professionalism, ensuring each customer received a positive and helpful experience. Whether resolving account issues, processing transactions, or guiding customers through banking procedures, I always aimed to uphold the high service standards associated with the Lloyds brand. Accuracy was paramount in every transaction I handled. I was consistently diligent in verifying amounts, double-checking documentation, and ensuring that all monetary exchanges were recorded correctly. This meticulous approach significantly reduced the risk of error and contributed to the smooth operation of the branch. Despite being relatively new to the organization, I was frequently assigned responsibilities that were typically reserved for more seasoned employees. This included handling high-value transactions, assisting in branch closing procedures, and supporting colleagues during peak hours—demonstrating both the trust my supervisors placed in me and my ability to rise to challenges. Furthermore, maintaining strict confidentiality was an essential aspect of my role. I was entrusted with sensitive customer information and internal financial data, and I understood the importance of discretion, data protection, and ethical conduct in all aspects of my work.

During my time with Aker Qserv, I was entrusted with a variety of operational and logistical responsibilities that were vital to the smooth functioning of the stores and yard area. Initially, my role focused on organizing and maintaining both the store and the yard, ensuring that these areas remained clean, orderly, and compliant with safety standards at all times. I was also responsible for the timely replenishment of paper supplies in the photocopy room, helping to maintain efficiency across departments. My strong work ethic, attention to detail, and consistent reliability led to the offer of a permanent position within the stores department, where I assumed greater responsibilities. In this role, I was involved in the assembly of engine components and the preparation of personal protective equipment (PPE) kits essential for offshore operations. These tasks demanded precision, adherence to strict safety protocols, and a strong understanding of operational requirements in the oil and gas sector. In addition to assembly duties, I was actively responsible for managing the inflow and outflow of stock items, ensuring accurate inventory tracking and timely distribution. I also participated in regular stock audits, contributing to the accuracy of inventory records and the overall efficiency of the department. This experience allowed me to develop strong organizational, logistical, and teamwork skills, as well as a deeper understanding of supply chain operations in a high-risk, safety-critical industry.
