Summary
My personal qualities include being keen to learn, and being able to take direction. I enjoy working with people, and I have very clear communication skills. I can self-manage and organise, and I am always punctual and reliable. I am a very social person who will like to work with anyone. Alongside working alongside other people I also enjoy and appreciate working alone if I have to. Also I am competent and eager to try anything new. Personally I don't like being late and would prefer to arrive early to set times.
