I have taught Leona at William Angliss Institute of TAFE where she was pursuing her Certificate course in Patisserie. I found her very focussed and organised during her studies. She always showed enthusiasm and willingness to learn something new. I wish her all the best for future endeavours.

Aug 2018 - Feb 2019
Processed online orders to completion (pick, pack & dispatch). Liaised with customers and stores regarding product availability and stock replenishments. November 2018- moved on to processing wholesale orders to completion. Email orders keyed into MYOB and actioned for pick, pack and dispatch. Measurements taken for bulky items and registered for collection by Courier or post. Packed, moved and dispatched bulky items up to 20kg. Daily tasks requiring time to be divided between office and warehouse. Partnered with warehouse assistant to divide workload in a bid to maximise turnaround time and accuracy. This allowed me more time to handle phone enquiries pertaining to the active orders and eliminate errors. Provided insight to the refining of the Magento system when it was initiated to better suit the needs of the staff. Advocated the need for better training and an additional full/part time warehouse assistant. Show less
