|  I am a keen and hard-working person looking for full time or part time work. I have experience in customer service and have a creative flair.  During my time working in offices I have learned various office skills and can type (copy and audio).  From travelling to Chengdu in China I gained experience in a different culture.  I thoroughly enjoyed this time and found that I worked well under pressure and in different environments.  I am a good team player and have excellent communication skills.  I am an outgoing and enthusiastic person not afraid of meeting new challenges.  I am used to having to organise myself and others.
