Work history
General Labourer
DW Solutions
01.2023 - 08.2025
- Being a general labourer for a creative landscaping company. This would include tasks provided to me by the manager, and me adhering to them. I had to be time efficient in certain tasks (working with materials which go off quickly), I also had to work as part of a team. We had several workers, and to have the most efficient results, we needed to be able in working together, but also our communication needed to be excellent. We dealt with customers every day, and having the ability to deal with customers, and provide good customer service was essential for the business to grow, and meet our targets.

- Adhering to any tasks set by the management, dealing with customers, stocking shelves, till work, and everyday general maintenance work. Ensuring tasks are met within a team environment. Departments that I have worked on are frozen, tills, the cleaning team, ambient, pick and pack (online shopping) and several others. I also helped with the cleaning department from time to time, to help my knowledge of other departments, but also to provide for the team, as we were short-staffed in that department, so enjoying the team’s needs were met was an essential aspect of my job.
