Summary
Developed strong skills in IT whilst studying and working at a travel agency. Communication is a key skill when working with many different people. Working in team is vital as reliance is on each other when taking stock and organising the store shelves. Often it requires making decisions independently. Addition I gained valuable work experience at an allotment, good interpersonal skills with the ability to establish rapport with people of all ages. Also, I severed as senior manager for six years In Curry's and PcWorld.

Interests
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family, reading a variety of literature and I also enjoy trying out new things all the time, which makes me more determined and curious about what I could gain with different jobs in various fields. I also enjoy visiting different places where I tend to always meet new people.
