Summary

I have matriculated from Grey College High School in Bloemfontein in the year 2018 and for the longest time finances, marketing and sales has been a huge passion of mine.

I am in possession of a Senior Certificate, a valid drivers’ license and my own reliable vehicle.

I am currently pursuing a Post School Qualification in Business Management through distance learning.

Over the past few years I have developed sound leadership skills, excellent verbal and written capabilities in both English and Afrikaans as well as good organisational skills. I have also developed solid work ethics and can work well under pressure with the ability to act independently. My experience in sales and retail developed excellent customer service and furnished me with the ability to cope well under pressure and with the high demands in a tactful and professionalism manner. I enjoy being around people and I am a fast learner.

I believe in positive thinking, product knowledge and applying the necessary company policies and procedures together with excellent customer service, contributes fundamentally towards the success of any job.

I am ready to provide excellent customer service due to my energetic, confident and loyal character. Included is my detailed résumé for additional information regarding my expertise and achievements.

I welcome the opportunity for an interview to answer any of your questions.
