Summary

I am reliable and proactive with exceptional organisational and communication skills, ensuring smooth daily operations and optimal team support. I am also capable of managing schedules and handling correspondence efficiently. I am looking to make a meaningful impact in my role as a sales assistant.I am an enthusiastic and motivated student eager to learn new skills and gain new knowledge. I can apply excellent time management skills to complete accurate and thorough work. I am 100% prepared to understand and support the team I become a part of, and I am willing to take on new challenges. I understand that these skills are essential for my role and I will keep working hard to improve my skills along the way. I think that it is important to keep customer-employee relations positive to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that customers will have a relaxed and enjoyable experience. I am passionate about retail because I know how important it is to a customer to be able to find what they're looking for in a helpful and friendly environment and with a positive and friendly personality I know that I will be able to provide this essential experience.
