I'm a psychology student looking for a summer job to develop my employability skills.

I completed work experience in 2018 as a waitress in a tapas bar (‘The Wandering Duck’). During the course of this week, I learnt how to work as a team with my colleagues, provide polite customer service and be punctual to contribute my best efforts to the role. Working in a fast-paced environment has given me the opportunity to experience a front of house role and I found that it was something I really enjoyed. Last year, I also completed further work experience as a waitress in the coach house of ‘Middleton Lodge Estate’. Working in a high pressure environment has helped me to expand my skills in customer service and stay calm in stressful circumstances.

Recently, I have been working on a project with some fellow psychology students for ‘Salford Loaves and Fishes’, a charity focused on providing services for the homeless and vulnerable people. Throughout this group work, I have developed my reflective skills and increased my understanding of the role of charities in society.
