Summary
I am a Second Year Computer Science student looking to find part-time work to support my studies. I completed my first year with excellent grades throughout my modules, demonstrating extreme discipline in managing multiple important assignments at once, as well as highlighting my experience in IT and technology. I also have over 2 Years of experience in customer service and retail, working at Peacocks as a Sales Assistant, with lots of knowledge and first-hand experience in providing memorable and friendly shopping experience for customers, resulting in customer loyalty and repeat business. On top of these skills, I also have high proficiency in maintaining store standards in presentation of goods, managing and maintaining inventory and ensuring cleanliness standards for customers to provide the most seamless and enjoyable shopping experience. Following my time at Peacocks, I worked as a member of Bar Staff for Brighton's Pride Festival, which helped build not only interpersonal skills between team members and customers, but give me
experience in a fast-paced hospitality environment.
