Rachel Louise Burgess

I am an enthusiastic, positive person who has a passion for providing top quality customer service and going the extra mile for the customer. I have spent the 4 years in the hairdressing industry but am now looking for a change in direction.

I would love to find a new position where I can use the skills I developed over the years and build new ones.

I thrive in both  team and solo positions. Because of my passion for life and upbeat outlook I consider myself to be a positive addition to any business or environment 

Key skills: 

Team work

  • § From early enjoyment from school and dance groups I have always thrived within teams whether large or small.
  • § I have enjoyed being a team member and also leading teams in various environments

 

Time management

  • § Tight deadlines for reports and managing my study time prior to exams while at Polytech meant that I gained a good grasp of time management.
  • § Working in salons gave excellent skills for keeping myself and team running to time because if we didn't we would have upset clientele.

 

Focused and willing to learn

  • § I am very clear and motivated when I have a goal to focus on and work towards.
  • § I am very willing to learn from my workmates and to use that knowledge to get a better understanding of the job and industry
