Summary

I am looking for part-time work while I am in university. Ideally weekend work like a Saturday or Sunday, but I am flexible. I have a large range of volunteer experience from UN Youth and Z Club which has given me a willingness to take on tasks to help people. I have worked part-time at New World in Howick since I was in year 12(2022), showing great loyalty and commitment to the work place. I am looking to further my experience, looking for potential jobs in childcare or tutoring as I am aiming to become a secondary school teacher. I would also like to branch out into positions such as marketing, hospitality, and retail.
