Rianna Shergill

I am skilled in customer service and always make sure to go above and beyond in order to ensure a positive experience that makes customers feel valued. I also possess good organizational, communication, and time management skills, all of which are essential attributes for event and hospitality staff. Furthermore, when working in barback/ assistant bartender roles, I am attentive, and always show initiative during busy shifts by doing everything in my power to make other staff members jobs easier.

I am experienced in working as part of a team that can ensure efficiency and productivity, as well as a friendly atmosphere.

I am a sociable, creative, and hard-working person. Music is a great passion of mine – I am a skilled guitarist, bassist, vocalist, and an intermediate drummer. I have lots of experience performing with other musicians.

Slug & Lettuce (January 2023 – June 2023)

During my second year of university in Bristol, I worked as a Barback at Slug and Lettuce, during the weekends. Here, I gained experience behind the bar; I learnt how to pour pints and developed my drink-making skills.

My responsibilities included: stocking the bar, serving drinks to customers, managing inventory, cleaning, and assisting and anticipating the needs of bartenders. Furthermore, I had thorough knowledge of food and drink pricing, and was able to swiftly attend to any requests or queries from customers. During this job, I really enjoyed working as part of a friendly team, which encouraged me to take on more responsibilities as I adapted to my role.

Limber (October 2023 – April 2024)

Throughout my third year, I worked shifts on Limber, a staffing agency in Bristol. I completed a wide range of shifts in barback, porter, bar runner, glass collector, and cloakroom staff roles. I really enjoyed the flexibility of agency work, as it allowed me to balance work alongside completing my university degree.
