Aisha Patel

My name is Aisha Patel and I am interested in the position that you currently have available as a Pandora sales assistant at the Blackburn store. I am at this moment a first year pharmacy student, ongoing into my second year, at the University of Central Lancashire. During my time at university and through my experience of attending placements I have obtained many useful skills to aid me in the role of being a sociable sales assistant.

These include professionalism, which is crucial to make the customers feel welcome, communication, which allows me to converse with the customers in a respectful manner to create a safe and trustworthy environment. Another vital skill is teamwork, which is key when working in a store as you are required to liaise with other customers and staff members. Overall, I am a hardworking, motivated, and enthusiastic individual with a proven track record in customer service.

I always strive to achieve the highest standard possible at any given task and in any situation. I am a reliable person with good time keeping. I am friendly, approachable and I can follow instructions accurately.

I am accustomed to working in a challenging and fast paced environment, particularly when dealing with multiple projects and priorities at the same time.
