Portishead,Avon

Summary

My name is Layla McManus, I live in Weston in Gordano and I am currently in search of a full time job to do after my time at college. I'm a hard worker and a great team player and have experience in customer service as I used to do work part time at Junior Poon in Clevedon. I thoroughly enjoy meeting and talking to new people and I frequently look forward to opportunities which include these skills. My role at junior poon has enabled me to have knowledge of table waiting, drinks running, order taking, till using and customer service. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and being social when I can and also do my art and design coursework for college.
