What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and responsible sales colleague currently working at Currys, where I have honed my ability to thrive in high-pressure environments, particularly during peak times like Black Friday and Christmas. My experiences have instilled in me a strong work ethic and a commitment to meeting strict deadlines. I believe that every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and I approach my tasks with a positive outlook that often inspires those around me.
Previously, I gained valuable insights into the banking sector during my work experience as a Banking Assistant at Barclays Bank. This role allowed me to engage with customers, handle financial inquiries, and process transactions efficiently. I developed excellent communication skills and learned to work collaboratively within a team to ensure the smooth operation of the bank. My academic background in primary education has further equipped me with the ability to connect with diverse individuals, enhancing my interpersonal skills.
