Summary
I am a keen, hardworking reliable person. I am good at working using own initiative and am flexible in my approach to work duties. I am punctual with an excellent attendance record at my current job. I am able to communicate easily in both spoken and written forms. I can organise and prioritise my own workload effectively. I also work well in a team but equally working as good on my own. I am quick to learn and willing to undertake relevant courses or qualifications to assist in the job role.
Although I have never done this particular role before I feel I will be a great asset to the team as I am always up for a challenge and always give 100% in everything I do.
