Jean-Michel Jacquet
@jean-micheljacquet
Bookshop assistant with experience in France and Brussels, including selecting publications and supporting customers.
SwedenWhat I'm looking for
As a bookshop assistant in different French cities and Brussels, I restocked shelves, assessed selections, and assisted customers. I also contributed to decisions about purchasing new publications.
At Oche Gothenburg, I prepared dart games and worked as a waiter in a fast-paced environment. I also worked as a hotel assistant at Alvaret Hotel & Hostel, where I prepared breakfast, cleaned rooms, and helped with check-ins.
During my French National Volunteer Service at the Archives Department in Hyères, I digitalised public and private archives. My publishing studies at Université Grenoble Alpes included learning Adobe InDesign and creating a website with Joomla.
French is my native language, and I speak English and Spanish fluently. I’ve studied Swedish and have lived in Sweden for the past three years; I’m looking forward to opening my horizons by working in the Netherlands.
