Summary
My name is Te Rapa, 27 years old, female and reside in Hamilton, I enjoy fast paced work environments and capable of working independently or in a team. I'm currently looking for part-time or casual work, Majority of my work experience is factory based, I have basic understanding of customer service I studied Retail and Hospitality during my teenage years and spent a small amount of time working in a cafe as my first job. I'm currently looking for work that is not factory work as I'm wanting to take on a new perspective and try out something new. I'm willing to give any thing a go and hoping for a new opportunity.
