What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a customer-facing role where I can deliver polite, respectful service, handle busy periods confidently, and support sales through product knowledge, efficient checkout, and basic marketing—while growing with a strong team.

I’m a customer-first shop assistant from South Africa, known for being polite and friendly while treating all customers with respect. I focus on customer satisfaction by keeping operations running smoothly, ensuring sufficient stock, and supporting team performance under pressure.

In my Volunteer Shop Assistant role at The Candy Shop, I welcomed customers, handled busy periods, and supported marketing to attract more buyers—assisting more than 45 customers a day (and double on weekends). I also worked as a call centre agent at Real promotions, where I promoted products, explained benefits clearly, handled difficult customers, and achieved sales by closing customer deals.
