I have spent the past 7 years working in the hospitality industry. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the industry. I have a strong commitment to excellent customer service and continuous improvement. At the start of the year I took a 3 Month break to travel. Now I am back and keen to return to the industry where I am look for an opportunity that will challenge and inspire me whilst allowing me to build on my existing skills and experience. I am comfortable dealing with diverse groups of people given my own experiences. I enjoy communicating with people and can do so in formal and non-formal settings. I am capable of working on my feet for long hours in very busy environments and I work well under pressure. I believe my skills and experience will be a valuable addition to your team.
