Providing great customer service can sometimes be seen as a standard for any employee but Beer52 proved being communicative, knowledgeable and honest often means you'll get fantastic rewards from your callers and employers. Taking 80 to 100 calls per day that could vary from upgrading a customer's subscription, fixing delivery issues to helping people continue to be member to the world's largest beer club but most importantly always providing them with the best experience and happy when they hang up. I had the extra job of taking negative reviews about the Beer52 on review site Trustpilot and converting those 1 star reviews about people who were deeply unhappy with the service to help them out, solve their problem (probably throw in a couple of extra free beers) and turn them away happy with them writing a glowing 5 star review as they go. Beer52 provided excellent perks to me and many others in customer service. Personally, this wasn't just a near-unlimited supply of beer but opportunities to travel to several festivals under their company banner, getting into exclusive events, tasting beer on the job as part of a judging panel and meeting great new brewers with heaps of potential to get their brews into future issues.

A hobby I performed for almost a decade in total but the dates given are the times when I managed to get regularly paid to stand up on stage and tell stories. Performing at clubs throughout the world including Malaysia, Germany, New Zealand and Hong Kong as well as producing solo shows throughout the UK and Australia. Including a themed festival show Stand-Up Nomad from 2017 to 2019 with guest acts including comedians with their own Netflix Specials like Ari Shaffir, Loyiso Gola and Kavin Jayaram.Critical praise: "A must-see." ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Weekend Notes“Will have you cackling.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ½ - Adelaide Advertiser (National Newspaper)“If this show does not persuade you to go backpacking you are probably dead inside.” ★ ★ ★ ★ - The Music.com.au“His travel anecdotes are particularly well prepared and structured.
