Summary
Kia Ora, I'm Alexander! I am very reliable and motivated to work proven by my career history so far. I am very creative, outgoing, loving and friendly. I get compared to a gentle giant by anyone who has worked with me or knows me. I am willing to do whatever I can to help within a workforce and boost my team members' mood and morale. I have a background in sales and have also been in management for EB Games and Hallensteins Brothers, where I had to lead the teams to meet the end-of-day targets and goals. In my first week at Hallensteins, I made over 100 sales within my first, so you can say I'm great at what I can do if you give me the opportunity! I have travel and life experience with being a former professional wrestler and am ready to get into my next job, whether that is part-time or full-time! I am on the search to start my next career.
