Summary
Ongoing Cashier with a passion for performing arts. I am engaging and personable when talking to customers and have a well rounded understanding for time management, especially when dealing with large queue times. I am easy to work with and get along well with colleagues. One example being I worked alongside one of my colleagues to participate in a play at the Salford Arts, that went on to win an award, showing I can maintain relationships in and out of the workplace.
