The role of a warehouse operative had many different tasks . I was given orders from different stores and picked designated products required for the store . This job was scored and rated depending on how quick I completed the tasks , this created an initiative for me to constantly improve and become more efficient . Due to my desire to improve I quickly surpassed my desired score and was promoted to a different role after only being at the workplace for 3 months . This supports the fact that I am enthusiastic and persistent . The promotion involved a completely different task , I was trained on a high reach truck and appointed the role of placing and removing heavy stock at different aerial levels . this task involved much more concentration and responsibility which was hugely beneficial for me at such a young age .

This job was a part time role due to me still studying at high school and college however I was still incredibly dedicated to this job . Suggesting I can multi-task and be equally dedicated in different areas of life . In this role I achieved high levels of organisation with sorting and storing deliveries whilst assisting chefs in food preparation for efficient meal service. I managed a high workload in high pressure scenarios when customers were ordering drinks and food at the bar , this also developed my communication skills due to me having to communicate to fellow members of staff or customers . Meanwhile my teamwork skills were strongly tested as I realised a task can be completed more efficiently when working together as opposed to against .
