I had the privilege of working at Curves Gym as a freelancer on Friday afternoons, and Saturdays during gym opening hours to assist coaches and manager with the distribution of promotional and generic Curves gym flyers to help generate good quality leads and potential clients to help increase sales. My main duties was to assist permanent staff with marketing the Curves brand by distributing flyers and assist coaches with general duties. During my period of freelancing at Curves, it has helped me to improve my people skills, remaining enthusiastic, polite and persevere despite set backs or rejections and learning how imperative it is to have an in depth knowledge of the product or service you are promoting or information being handed out and be a point of information for people with questions.
I have been previously employed at Wagyu Resturant in Paarl as a part-time waiter assistant on weekends. Currently i am not employed as I have just completed Secondary school in 2023 and I am now seeking permanent employment. I am a hard working and a trustworthy individual with an engaging personality and friendly nature. I am adaptable and resilient to convey my ability to adjust to new situations and challenges. I consider myself to be customer orientated to ensure an enjoyable dining experience and positive overall customer satisfaction as well as gaining loyal and repeat customers.
