• Events Assistant

  • Apr 2016 - Jul 2016

  Promotion from my role of Senior Visitor Assistant to the role of Events Assistant based on my consistently high performances in the former role amongst other factors. The position entailed a great deal of IT and phone aptitude, as well as good organisational and prioritising skills. Daily work included booking customers onto our tour packages, via email or phone, and required strong communication and adaptability. Handling queries and processing cash transactions also involved a great deal of responsibility. Furthermore, the role included the preparing of the function suites for guests, as well as managing and assisting these guest events through their duration. The balancing of the two sides of this role was an important challenge and required further discipline and organisation. Role cut short by external circumstances.

Hosting the tours required good presentation capabilities and extensive product knowledge, while tasks such as Box, the shop and the bar required confident cash-handling, composure at peak visitor volumes, and a friendly, helpful attitude to give the best experience to the customers. Flexibility and adaptability in the face of unexpected issues, or customers with specific requirements (language barriers, specific needs or similar) were also an absolute essential.
