Personal Attributes

§ Approachable and Friendly
§ Positive Attitude

I find that through any situation I am faced with if I maintain a positive attitude, things will
always turn out for the best, and as a result I am always smiling and laughing. This has made
me quite approachable to my friends and people I have only just met as it is always easier to
converse with someone if they seem happy to be talking to you. Working in hospitality for 3
years has also contributed to my ability to always be friendly when conversing with
strangers, I have learnt how to accommodate the customer as well as how to work as a team
with my colleagues, always maintaining a positive outlook to any circumstance that may
arise.

§ Reliable
§ Organised

Throughout my 3 years at university, I found that I achieved the best results when I was
organised. As a result, organisation has become a habit of mine. Being an organised person
has made me reliable as others will always know that I will be able to keep an appointment
and will always be on time.

§ Enjoy Challenges
§ Hard Working
§ Good in fast-paced/stressful environments

University has contributed to helping me to not collapse in a stressful environment and has
also taught me how to work fast paced while still achieving high results. This has allowed me
to become a hard worker and made me enjoy any challenges I am faced with as I am always
trying to achieve my best in a short period of time.
