SUMMARY
Dedicated service associate with noted success in
developing customer loyalty and succeeding in company
goals
QUALIFICATIONS
I have extensive customer service knowledge in a variety
of fields. I am able to communicate professionally and
personally in order to help guests/customers solve
problems effectively.
My work experience does not limit my interests in
pursuing other fields. I feel my experience in child care
builds my patience level and modest attitude in order to
help those around me. Working in the food industry,
I've gained experience in problem solving, assertive
action, and the need to be efficient.
I am a self starter and enjoy working towards a common
goal. I can work in a team setting, or independently. I
am a fast paced learner, but do not hesitate to find
assistance when I am unsure of the information. I
maintain high expectations of myself and my work
environment.
