Summary
I am a motivated and adaptable professional with a background spanning sales, customer service, and independent business operations. My experience at Tesco and Sports Direct strengthened my ability to build rapport quickly, communicate effectively, and manage multiple priorities under pressure - skills directly applicable to engaging with candidates, liaising with clients, and coordinating recruitment processes. Running my own online sales venture further developed my organisational skills, attention to detail, and ability to meet ambitious targets. I am eager to bring my strong work ethic, interpersonal skills, and results-driven mindset to a recruitment role, contributing to a team that values relationship-building and high performance.
