Work Experience

Baby-sitter (June 2019-Present)

• I secured a part-time role at my local Oxfam where I was responsible for ticketing and pricing items, sorting through and classifying stock and operating the till.
• I enjoyed working within a retail environment and interacting with the general public.

Wendy’s Hair Salon (June-July 2019)

• During my summer I worked a couple of days in the local hair salon where I was responsible for answering the phone, meeting and greeting customers, booking appointments and generally ensuring the salon was clean and tidy.
• This was a very fast-paced environment compared to what I had been used to, so I had to quickly think on my feet.
