HUNG NGUYEN TIEN (Mike)

Wellington,Te Aro

Summary

I'm Mike Nguyen. I have been working in cafe almost 5 years in New Zealand, and 4 years in Vietnam. I love kiwi coffee culture, our lovely customers and hospitality where I can feel how friendly kiwis are with great smiles.

I'm reliable, a hard working person. Always bring my passion, great customer service to customers and highly values to the owner. Because I understand that Life is tough with high cost of living. Customers are spending their precious money to buy our coffee and food. They deserve to get the best quality and great customer service. And I can have a chance to get a job from the owner.

I am looking for a cafe manager position, an accredited employer who is willing to sponsor me.
