Introduction:
I’m seeking a venue for my cheerful personality and helpful people skills. My problem-solving abilities and intuitive nature are a great fit for receptionist, hostess, direct contact customer service or cashier positions. I quickly learn processes and adapt to the people around me and prefer a team atmosphere although I am often considered a natural leader. Staying busy with a variety of tasks and personal interactions brings me the most satisfaction in my role.
