Over the last year I have worked in an Domestic staffing agency in London helping with candidate resourcing, which involved speaking with people on the phone and working with other consultants to find jobs for Nannies and Housekeepers. Working this role has given me confidence with speaking to new people and an appreciation for being organised.

I was also asked by ne of the Senior Directors to help with organising all of the equipment of the business and have been going in every two weeks to update all of the staffs laptops and phones. While also, setting up new laptops and phones for new hires.

This job has allowed me to develop my teamworking skills, communication and organisation.

I worked at a local barbers on the highstreet, I worked for around 8 months and gained a lot of customer facing experience and got on well with all of the barbers. While there I was asked to help with tasks such as:

-Washing and sweeping hair

-Getting food and drink for the barbers

-Offering clients drinks

-Arranging appointments over the phone with customers

-Organizing work stations and helping with cleaning the staff room and shop

Working this job at 14/15 gave me a good motivation to earn money and work, I enjoyed my time at the shop and gained a lot of people skills and a skill of communication and customer interaction.
