Afterwards I would update their records, help with referrals to hospitals, assist them in selecting the correct lenses/spectacles for their needs, and it meant that I had to listen to what they wanted. In addition to showing customer care, we had sales targets to meet, and much to the delight of my manager, I proved to be a successful salesperson, and she constantly received good comments about my service, either by word of mouth or by the surveys which were completed online by our customers. In accordance with the way I handled our patients, I was made Customer Carer, and asked to give tips and reminders to my much more experiences colleagues - some had been working for 10 years - and asked to monitor the Customer Care reviews. I enjoyed this kind of work and especially helping older ones. It was a pleasure to sit and listen to them, it didn't feel like work. Show less

I began as a Modern Apprentice, and completed 2 Vocational Qualifications in Business and Administration. My work areas ranged from recruitment, advertising, contracts and HR procedures, medicals and doctor assistant work, secretarial duties for the Head of Services, mobile insurance and payroll duties, and many other roles.I became fully competent in IT work, including using programs such as Oracle, SQL Developer, Microsoft Office, and implemented daily use of our intranet and recruitment websites, including the handling of and developing our own "back office" of Monster and MyJobScotland.I was very customer focused and received commendation for my awareness of colleagues and applicants, or any others who I came into contact with. I thoroughly enjoyed the Recruitment aspects, from starting to advertise a position and then handling the applicants, building up to interview level and organising the locations, communicating with managers and keeping the candidates informed, requesting references and eventually appointing the successful candidate. My work continued afterwards as I sorted out contract and payroll details, and then even some weeks after, when they were in the position, would I hear feedback and be available for other queries. All of our positions had to be within the Recruitment Standards and Timeline as set our for the Council.What I really was enthusiastic about was when I received projects to develop the website, or when I was asked to modify documents for ease of access and to keep in line with our Conditions of Service.
