Summary

Since beginning my career in a busy London Lettings office, I have developed a multitude of transferable
skills which I further developed within my roles at Savills and now Knight Frank. These skills include the
ability to problem solve in high pressured environments, communicating clearly and concisely with
customers and colleagues and demonstrating strong attention to detail whilst working to strict deadlines. I
believe these skills will help me in my new role at x as a x.
