Work Experience

Comis chef The Four Seasons in Canary Wharf March 2002 to April 2002 This Was Part of my NVQ in Hospitality and Catering. It was a work Experience placement. During my time in the kitchens the pressure was immense. Customers could be paying anything up to £60 a course and as such, mistakes were not tolerated. I learnt quickly that if the food preparation was done correctly the first time it was better for both the kitchen and myself. I have not since this placement worked in such a strong team enviroment. Sales Assistant Superdrug in Bletchley April 2000 to October 2001 Being my first job while I was attending college. The Job was part time and I would work weekends. The position Helped me learn responsability at an early point in my working career. Maintaining a clean and pleasant shopping enviroment. Assisting customers locate products and sharing my product knoledge. Working directly with customers while on the tills. Restacking shelves and facing up Sales Advisor Allied Carpets in Milton Keynes (Present employment) The Position was a huge change for me after my time as a chef. This job demands the same amount of dedication however. Within the store targets are set and the member of staff is repremanded if these are not met. The company treat the staff as their own small business within a business. It was part of my job to control all orders that I took. These problems could be anything from supply problems to quality control. Because of this my problem solving skills have improved imeasureably. Control of orders and ensureing customers are content. Solving any problems that may arise. Ensureing targets are met. Maintaining the store standards.
