Assistant Manager
-
Jul 2016 - Apr 2019
As an Assistant manager across two stores, I have gained experience of working with two managers and two teams with very different characteristics; this has given me the opportunity to prove that I am adaptable and flexible in the way that I work. To date, I have successfully completed my Assistant Manager training and my No7 mini badge training. I have spent time working in the pharmacy in both stores. My role involves me working closely with managers and assistant managers and feel that they believe me to be flexible, reliable and trust worthy as I am often left to run the store and team on my own.

As a housekeeper I was responsible for cleaning and preparing rooms for guests. Being front of house, I represented the company and had to welcome guests as well as taking telephone queries and bookings in a professional manner.
