Summer-Jayde Balderstone

I work at Subway as a sandwich artist around my college hours. I enjoy working as I get to express my inner creative side. I enjoy working here as the social interaction with a wide range of people boosts my confidence.

• Maintained clean, tidy and organised working areas to maximise efficiency.
• Thoroughly cleaned food preparation areas, tools and equipment, maintaining faultless hygiene standards.
• Warmly greeted customers and proactively reduced wait times.

I am currently doing my work placement at Creepy Creatures on a Wednesday after College as part of my work experience for my Level 3 Animal Management course. Here I get to handle, feed and clean a wide range of animals which I enjoy as I get a good hands on experience alongside learning. I also deal with customers, answering any enquiries they have on the animals we provide.

• Cleaned animal areas, tanks and cages in line with agreed cleaning rota.
• Educated prospective pet owners on requirements and responsibilities of owning reptiles.
• Handled cash and card payments whilst maintaining till in balance even during peak times.

I experience working alongside adults and children where I dress up as Disney princesses. Where I meet, greet and interact with all party goers, creating a fun and enchanting experience. I get to show my creative side as I also do face painting.

• Built positive rapport with children and parents to enhance overall entertainment experience.
• Coordinated well-organised meet and greet activities.
• Developed fun, engaging learning experiences for children of varying ages.
