Rhyse Hughes

I am a hard-working and reliable college student looking for a part-time retail role to gain work experience. Through my paper round and library volunteering, I have developed strong time management skills and confidence when talking to the public. In my spare time, I am an active member of the Sea Scouts, which has taught me how to work well in a team and run busy event stalls, such as at the Leigh Regatta.

I am eager to bring my positive attitude, friendly customer service, and strong work ethic to a retail team.
