Summary
Armed with a cheery disposition and good social graces, I have always found teamwork and customer service a joy. But most of all I have a sharp mind that allows me to pick up new skills and subjects with ease.
My prior experience in a carehome and a bicycle shop has armed me with the patience of a saint and the ability to work under stress (as two christmasses at Halfords will attest to). And my time working in Buckreddan has toughened me to unhygeinic work including laundry and cleaning.
