What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level office, customer service, or retail role to apply my Microsoft Office, data-entry, and communication skills, learn on the job, and contribute reliably to a collaborative team.

I am a final-year Bachelor of Arts student at the University of Pretoria with strong office and computer skills. I bring hands-on experience tutoring peers in Excel and Word and hold ICT Office Skills and Ready for Work certificates.

I'm reliable, friendly, and adaptable in fast-paced environments, currently attending three academic classes per week and available immediately. I support first-year students as a Computer Module tutor (2023–present), encouraging digital confidence and academic growth. I am proficient in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace and comfortable with data entry and file management.

I'm eager to contribute to office, customer service, or retail teams where I can apply my communication, organization, and problem-solving strengths. I am fluent in Sepedi and English, conversational in IsiZulu, and motivated to learn and take on responsibility.
