James Alexander Paul Kingston
Summary
A friendly, helpful and polite individual with excellent communication skills (both verbal and written - plus essential listening skills). I am honest, reliable and punctual with a willingness to work hard and learn new skills. Furthermore, I have a creative mind and an eye for detail, which I like to put to use where possible. Although I am able to work autonomously, I am an excellent team player who enjoys collaborating with others. Im a recent graduate looking for a part-time role where I can continue to hone and use the skills I have amassed over the subsequent years whilst working along side a focussed and collaborative team.
