Summary
With a bright and approachable personality and strong communication skills, I have consistently provided high-quality service in every workplace while always keeping customer needs in mind. Including part-time jobs and sales experience from my student days, I have 12 years of customer service experience. Although I have around two years of experience in the food and beverage industry, I used to cook daily when I lived in Japan, so I am confident that I can become an immediate asset once I gain more experience.
