About
I am a self-motivated and enthusiastic individual, with good communication and organisational skills. I can work well on my own or in a team environment and like the challenge of working under pressure whilst coping well to meet deadlines. Examples of this is where I have managed a busy licensed bar, providing services for customers and clients seeking to hold events.
The focus in this job was to increase profits and develop the bars customer base. I am always willing to learn new skill and adapt well to new environments. I am now seeking to expand my skills and am seeking a professional environment where my considerable knowledge, skills and experience can be used immediately and effectively.
