I worked as a shot girl in a fast-paced nightlife environment, where I operated with a high level of independence. I was responsible for driving my own sales, so I had to stay proactive, approach customers confidently, and maintain high energy throughout the night to meet targets.

I handled bookings, enquiries, and payments while making sure everyone felt welcomed and looked after. Alongside the front desk duties, I spoke with potential clients about memberships and services, helping them find options that suited their needs and supporting overall sales. I also kept things running smoothly behind the scenes by staying organised, coordinating schedules, and working closely with the team to maintain a high standard of service.
