Personal Statement
For the past * years I have been working in a team leader position actively
training towards an assistant management position. I am enthusiastic, quick
to learn and feel I have a friendly and amiable character, making it easy
to approach the public and co-workers. I enjoy working as part of a team
and I am able to take on active responsibility of a team to achieve a goal.
I pride myself on being hard working, punctual and always willing to go the
'extra mile' to ensure delivery of the highest levels of customer service
possible. Being in the licensed trade has given me the knowledge and
experience to communicate effectively with many different types of people
in a variety of different situations. I am currently waiting to start a
nail technician course at Halesowen College in April, with the hope of
achieving a NVQ level 2 in September 2013. I would be able to work part
time or full time as it is an adult course, and requires one day a week at
college. I have recently re-taken some GCSE's to help me achieve this aim.
I had to leave my last position in a bar to achieve the necessary time to
concentrate on my GCSE retakes.
