      • Jan 2020 - Jul 2022

      I was part of a small local family-run hotel. Being part of the bar staff allowed me to complete my basic bar training and to obtain more people skills. It helped to build a ‘thicker skin’ to criticism. I have also picked up better leader skills through this job as you must take control when people are drunk or disobeying the rules. More understanding of this came into play due to COVID-19 restrictions and making sure people understand and follow the rules. My patience and time skills are very frequently used doing this job.
