More about my job experiences:


I have job experience of five summers working as a waitress and doing other restaurant jobs such as cleaning, preparing meals and serving customers.
Working as a waitress has taught me how to work well and fast under stress and in busy environment, as well as how to serve customers in an enthusiastic manner and leaving a positive memory. Also it has improved my English and team working skills a lot and has made me a more confident person.

Secondly I have experience of one summer working with elderly people in a hospital / elderly house environment; helping them with different daily tasks, cleaning and planning activities to groups of elderly. The job taught me house keeping skills and various social skills like how to deal with different people and how to make an other person feel seen and heard and appreciated.

Thirdly I have been a leader to different children groups for three years (activity group, art group) and instructor in children's seasonal camps for five years, especially for ages 6-14. This has taught me a lot of skills on how to lead and manage a group, how to work in a team of other camp workers, how to plan and come up with activities, how to teach different things, how to react to and handle challenging situations and how to work with various kinds of children. Also, leading groups has taught me how to be very responsible and reliable, react fast and stay patient when facing challenges.

All of my job experiences combined have made me a more valuable team player, planner/organizer, stress-manager, customer servant, nanny, empathizer and worker in general.
