Summary
Through my experience delivering newspapers to over 200 households, I have developed excellent time management and responsibility. My role as a waiter during a formal Parent-Teacher Dinner strengthened my customer service skills and ability to work efficiently under pressure. I take pride in my ability to communicate well with people from all backgrounds, and I am always willing to learn and adapt.
I am motivated, dependable, and keen to bring these qualities to your team. My commitment to balancing academics with other responsibilities has taught me discipline and dedication, qualities I am ready to apply in a professional environment.
