  I worked at David Jones in various roles and stores during my time, working in a variety of departments. I was mainly responsible for providing customer assistance in the departments of small-electrical, kitchenware, furniture, haberdashery, menswear, and food. At Toombul store, I was the head of the food department for two years. In that time I developed processes to reduce food-wastage, and reduced wastage due to spoilage by nearly €5000. I moved later to the new Chermside store, where I worked in the large furniture department. In this role I was frequently above targets on sales and was the first sales assistant in the store to achieve a 100% on a secret shopper customer service check. I was approached to further my career with this company but my studies and personal interests prevented this.

After two years, I accepted a permanent role within the Telstra Mobile Customer Service Centre. In this role I worked in a 24 hour call centre, working rotating shifts.

I was also given the role of Occupational Health and Safety Manager for the centre, where I was trained in managing and providing clear guidelines for staff and management to follow.
