Summary
I am a student at St Andrews University and live in Dundee. I worked an average of 4 shifts a week at the Inn on the Loch near Castle Douglas from May until moving to Fife in September. From there, my shifts at the Student Union have varied based on academic projects, but I work an average of three nights a week when possible. I am a committed and reliable employee. I have confidence and experience of dealing with many different types of customer and scenarios. I am keen and quick to learn. I am a team player, responsible, polite and friendly. I was given good feedback from my employer, and she is happy to provide a reference should it be required.
