Katies - Clothing store

​2012 - present

 

I currently work part time at Katies clothing store whilst studying nursing. I am responsible for keeping the store clean and organised. I also need to manage stock flow and paper work when new stock is received. I have developed skills in serving customers, building rapport, telephone etiquette, use of computer and handling of money. I also have developed skills in time management; making sure the store opens and closes at the right time and that I arrive on time for my shift.

 

Institute for the Blind - Volunteer

​2010 - 2012

 

For two years I volunteered most Saturdays at the Institute for the Blind. I was involved with various activities when I was there ranging from supporting staff, answering phone calls, sending letters, talking to members of the Institute and assisting with events. It was a great experience which taught me confidence, empathy, patience, communication skills (both verbal and written) and team work.
