About georgia dollar:

I am a driven and passionate individual; I have excellent time keeping skills and a bubbly personality.
My main field of skill, interest and knowledge is the tourism industry and all that it encapsulates.
During my studies (level 3 tourism, hospitality and Events), I have gained expansive knowledge of the
industry with a proven track record of jobs I have done, which also include the retail environment. The
industry is tough especially in this current economic climate and I feel that customer service forms the
basis to any successful company no matter its size. I have excellent customer service skills and the
customer experience is very important to me. During my time at college and previous work experience
I have gained knowledge and experience in this area.
I enjoy new challenges because with every new challenge there is more experience and knowledge for
me to gain to add to my current skill set. I am resilient, committed and love working with others. I can
take on responsibility and use my initiative by thinking on my feet but equally can follow instructions
and work to time scales effectively
