I am polite and confident, a “people person” that excels in a customer-facing role. I have often been told I have a rare quality to be able to connect to people of all ages and feel I am therefore most suited to a position that involves customer service. I come from a background of entrepreneurs and have therefore developed a good work ethic and have a positive and diligent attitude towards work. I am a native English speaker who can also speak Gujarati and Hindi, and I also have excellent communication and numeracy skills and would enjoy a role that challenged me. I am computer literate and new skills learn fast. My work experience to date has given me a good basic grounding and I am looking forward to a new role that will help build on my previous experience and allow me room to grow and learn new transferable skills.
