BartenderGreen Dragon Inn Sep 2010 - Jan 2013Within the job description I was required to meet customer needs which demanded a polite attitude, correct attire and impeccable interpersonal skills to ensure that the customer enjoyed their experience and would either over stay their initial, intended stay or return on multiple occasions.This job also required me to work under pressure at busy periods such as new years and christmas, which also required a lot of self discipline as each customer would have to be treat with the exact same respect no matter how busy the shift was.

Work PlacementAvago Karting Mar 2007 - Apr 2007During my time at Avago Karting I was required to interact with multiple customers who I had never met before. This job also required a lot of acting on instinct as Karts would crash during a race and to avoid any other crashes and without stopping the race a decision would have to be made in order to get the race flowing again. Therefore this put a lot of pressure on my personal decision making, which I was able to handle comfortably.
