Carmen Potgieter
Objective:
I am a focused **-year-old with great expectations and a
passion for hospitality. I have the ability to work with people and a desire to learn as
much as possible. Time-consuming and reliability is one of my strongest
attributes as I always want to help and want to finish all my task as
expected of me. I will most certainly be a great value to your
establishment as I can work in various departments and I can adapt very
quick. When given the opportunity, I will always do my duties to the best of my abilities. My attitude is always positive, and my career goals will
be to work myself up the ladder as far as I can and eventually owning my own property.
