Jackson King
Summary
Through my hospitality and retail experience, I have accumulated a variety of skills and knowledge in both fields. I learnt the ability to improvise in stressful situations, fine-tune my leadership skills and the ability to take on instructions with ease. In my final months at The Bistro, I took on a manager's role, giving me the ability to delegate jobs and take on leadership. I enjoy a good challenge and strive to apply a successful work ethic in my life.
