Summary

My name is Lexie-Jae Thompson and I am 18. I am currently working full-time at Boundary Mill Outlet for the Woods Gift's department as a sales assistant after completing my time at college and receiving a Distinction*.

I believe I am a very hard working and enthusiastic person with a knack for customer service, it is always in my greatest interest to provide the best experience for customers and to make sure I am beating their expectations. I am a reliable employee and work well both independently and as a team. My college course has prepared me well for the travel and hospitality industry well due to the vast amount of sectors we covered, and we took part in customer service experiences such as volunteering for open events.
