About Maddie Price:

As a languages student, I have always had an interest in different forms of communication and how I can improve my own. I have a love for reading, writing, translating and reporting on different subjects. I received an A* at A-level in English literature and am currently studying for a degree in modern languages and translation at Newcastle University. I am about to enter my third year and am looking for a full time placement. I can work from home, or come into the office. I also speak Spanish, Italian and Chinese and have an excellent command of my own language, both in spelling, grammar, and a wide use of vocabulary. I would love the opportunity to further my writing skills, and apply the talents that I already have, to a working environment. Being a translation student, I also have training in revising and copyediting, therefore can pick up on mistakes within written work easily. I am very creative, open-minded, and work well as part of a team. I am always full of ideas and would love the opportunity to work for you and advance my career.

My role included waitressing, clearing tables, using the till, pot washing, including dishwasher use, and I have had barista training. I have good interpersonal skills and have excellent timekeeping, I am also able to adapt to a new environment quickly and am often available at short notice. I work well in a team and am hard working, punctual and polite and can work well under pressure due to times of high demand.
Waitress/Kitchen Assistant - The Monk, Quorn - September 2018 - March 2019
During my time at The Monk I was a reliable and efficient waitress, also assisting in food preparation and kitchen duties.

I often stepped into other roles when needed, such as pot washer and front of house, proving myself to be flexible and willing to work as part of a team.

Due to my excellent communication skills and ability to teach, I was hired by my school to tutor GSCE students after school in English language and literature.
