Customer Service Officer

Summary

Well mannered, honest, hard worker, punctual, reliable and motivated. I am always eager to not only learn new things but to perform to the best of my ability in all situations and to improve in any areas that need improving. I am a dedicated worker and always strive to push the extra mile and to contribute wherever I can. I enjoy working in team based environments but I also have experience in running a busy office environment at the Airport independently and have a wide experience working in other previous front line customer service roles within the Hospitality / Tourism, Retail, and now Government industries. I have clear communication skills and follow instructions efficiently but I am never afraid to ask for help or bring to light a mistake If I have made one. I have an outgoing personality and consider myself a very sociable and friendly person who is always keen to help. I'm familiar with working in diverse and fast paced environments and teams as well as working in target based positions, I work well under pressure and consider myself to have effective multitasking skills.
