I am a hardworking university student seeking employment, bringing forth a motivated attitude and a variety of powerful skills. I have excellent time management skills combined with a great knowledge of the customer service industry, having worked in a customer service environment for 11 months. I am dedicated to identifying customer needs and delivering effective solutions to all problems. I successfully set up a charitable events for my previous school settings, raising over £1000 every time. I also took part as Eco-school in a previous school setting, making environmental changes to the setting and organising events to encourage children to recycle.

I believe my confident demeanour would make me suitable for this role.
