About

I am dedicated, organised and hard working. I love getting involved in societies at college and particularly my hockey team - these have taught me to interact well with others and blossomed a love for meeting new people in me. I would thrive in a customer facing, skilful role, such as retail or hospitality. I've just finished my gap year where I worked and traveled. I am 20 years old, first year student and am currently looking for a part-time job while I am at college. I study Social Sciences at the University of Galway.

    During my time at Boots, I brought what I had learnt through my previous retail job. This allowed me to learn different tasks quickly and efficiently. These tasks included manning the till, managing stock, food/fridge training and most importantly - customer care. I enjoyed working with the public in such a busy role and always looked forward to going to work.
