  • More details about your skills

    i have been to many countries solo, and am confident in change, and problem solving and getting around in forgein places.

    worked at a busy formal restaurant for 3 years as head runner and as a waitress
    - Memorisation of many changing specials
    - Verbal & written communication between kitchen, staff and patrons
    - Personalised approach with details and organisation for customers
    - love to work under pressure (serving on average 50 patrons simultaneously)
    - Well developed prioritising skills
    - Ability to resolve conflict and problem solve
    - Leadership skills
    - Well developed teamwork skills

    currently work at a busy hospital in the operating theatres (nursing) as a scrub nurse and anaesthetic nurse full time
    - just a quick outline of what that is:
    i assist surgeons to do their surgeries in the sterile feild, assisting in maintinging their feild of veiw (retracting) setting up sterile equipment, passing tools, stopping bleeding, and recognising deterioration)
    i also assist anaesthetic doctors to put patiuents to sleep for surgery - if you have ever had a surgery, thats my job! to come and collect you, bring you into the theatres, get you onto the table and off to sleep)

    I am fully trained in basic life support, CPR, and have experience with handling Emergencies, my experience in an operating theatre could be very helpful in handling minor accidents or medical emergencies, ensuring you can assist until further help arrives or advise guests on what to do in case of injury.
    Nursing requires me to care for people in stressful and vulnerable situations. As a waitress, ability to stay calm under pressure allows me to provide service perfectly under pressure of a busy period
    In the operating theatre, im used to working under pressure and juggling multiple tasks at once. helping me in a fast-paced environment.
    i have excellent communication skills, allowing clear communication is key for interacting with customers,
    My attention to detail will be an asset for you as i have a keen eye and keep everything organised and always make my loose ends meet.

    i am also i competitive rock climber, so any jobs needing muscles is no worries!!
    im great at maths, great on the computer, and i love to help others!!
    i can cook - but i wouldnt say my menu is very long.....
