I have taught Drama and Dance in NZ secondary schools, supervised checkouts at New World Supermarket (this entailed customer service, management of staff money handling and communications) and cleaned motels.
I have worked in a variety of areas, including hospitality, retail, reception and administration. I have also worked as an English tutor and editor. My excellent interpersonal and written communication skills are what have allowed me to excel in all these environments. I am friendly, organised and motivated to learn.
I have been a secondary school teacher for five years, and am currently retraining to be a librarian. I also have retail experience as an assistant store manager.
I have extensive experience in customer service, ranging from wait staff, front of house and manager of Wendy’s Supa sundaes. As manager, I undertook execution of sampling and promotional activities. My retail and sales experience includes phone and face to face cold sales, clothing and gym equipment sales assistant. Work in cleaning has been in a ski resort hotel in Japan. Formerly employed as a high school teacher, I have good communication and administrative skills. My present situation involves Personal Training at gyms, lessons in dance and basic combat skills training and teaching English as a second language.
I have 10+ years of administration experience working in both public and private sectors. I also have 5 years of experience working in retail. In both admin and retail I have gained a lot of experience working with customers, either face to face or over phone/email.
