Employment History
2014 – Duty Manager/Receptionist - Premier Inn (Current Position)
As a current team member for one of the country’s largest hotel chains I have improved my ability to work effectively alone and handle the responsibility of being the first point of contact. This role involves daily administration tasks, banking, cash handling and telephone communication.

2013 – 2014 Foreign Language Teacher at i-to-i Teaching Internships in China
Teaching 20+ classes a week with varying levels of students ranging from new learners to those with three or four years of experience has improved my confidence in my abilities to interact and inspire foreign language students.

2013 – Paid Charity Fundraiser - HomeFundraising – January 2013 – March 2013, Queens Dock Commercial Centre, Norfolk St, Liverpool, Merseyside L1 0BG No: 0151 709 1200

2012 – General Operative – Burton’s Biscuit Factory
2011 – Retail Assistant - WH Smith, Chester Services
Having worked in a similar position at Borders, WH Smith acted as a familiar environment. Having worked with customers previously I felt capable of handling customer complaints or enquiries. I believe this environment helped improve my customer care and socialising skills.
