South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a South African receptionist and sales professional with a strong background in administration, data capture, and customer service. I have supported front-desk operations across retail, automotive, events, and childcare environments, consistently handling calls, filing, and reporting.
My roles have included receptionist, sales/store manager, call centre manager, admin assistant, and data capturer where I managed stock-take, cash-ups, merchandising, and daily reporting. I am comfortable using Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, Access, and basic design tools like Photoshop and CorelDraw.
I enjoy working with people, meeting targets, and learning new skills; I adapt quickly and perform well under pressure. I have experience liaising with clients and parents, preparing quotes, invoices and delivery notes, and assisting with logistical tasks such as managing drivers and cross-border paperwork.
I am motivated to join a company where I can contribute to operational efficiency, grow professionally, and take on increasing responsibility within administration, reception, or sales functions.
