Profile

I am a very energetic and ambitious person. Learning and easily adaptable is definitely one of my strong suits. My approach to taking on new ventures and tasks is with a hardworking and responsible manner. I am excellent with working in a group oriented team and will be more than capable to take on a leadership position if needs be. My time management skills are something I pride myself in, but will never directly influence the quality of the work I deliver. Overcoming challenges while also growing as an employee is something I enjoy and look forward to doing. I have a genuine interest in business Management and playing an important part in making an organisation successful.

The Style Tribal jewelry business, Port Elizabeth.

December 2016-current time

After finishing High school and having to start paying more expenses such as petrol and high food wages I wanted to start a business in order to have more money a month without asking my parents. The idea came about when I saw jewelry that was sold in shops with a high cost price that I knew I could make myself and sell for a lower price. I started making the jewelry at home and selling it to my close family and friends and the business started growing from there as the demand grew more and more. The growth led me to begin an online shop through the use of Instagram. I received many orders from across the country and started to learn allot from working with various types of customers. The business is a big success and provided me with more than enough funds to be able to live a comfortable student life while trying to attain my degree.

Liane’s bakery bits baking company, Port Elizabeth.

September 2020-current time

During the Covid-19 times the financial pressure was getting to allot of people. I was doing all my classes online in order to attain my honours degree and was home 24/7 from the 25rd of March till the end of 2020. I knew I had to start another business due to jobs being scarce in the area and people were losing their jobs on a constant. My jewelry business was taking a back seat as jewelry was not such a dire product to be in these difficult times. Food on the other hand was a high priority product for everyone and something that would be needed all the time. I have received numerous compliments on baking various baked goods during the lockdown period and knew that was a passion of mine I would never get tired of doing. The Liane’s bakery bits business then came alive and I had so much success that I found myself behind the oven for 8 hours per day with no assistance as all my family members where away working.

Strengths

I am an enthusiastic, hard working person, who enjoys team-work, collaborating on ideas and working towards mutual goals. I am reliable and value honesty above all else. I am not afraid to take initiative when needed. I believe that I am emotionally intelligent which allows me to play to my own strengths and weaknesses, and communicate efficiently. I am innovative and enjoy finding original and creative ways to do my work.

Weaknesses

I tend to put other people’s needs before my own, as I am a hard worker, and I’m quite goal oriented. I struggle to find a balance between my work-life and social life. I can be impatient when completing tasks, and feel flustered when tasks are completed spontaneously instead of being structured.
