Emma Carpenter

Customer Service

• I have over six years experience in retail sales, this has increased my ability to interact and deal with customers of all backgrounds
• I am a friendly and polite person by nature which lends itself to serving customers and working well with other people
• I am well presented, always dressing in a professional manner at work and maintaining high levels of personal presentation
• Working in retail, as well as work at university, has allowed me to develop excellent communication skills

Organisation and Reliability

• I am consistently punctual, always arriving well in time for work or any other commitment
• University and school have honed my skills in time management, having all assignments, essays, and study done in a timely fashion, not allowing work to build up, is essential for me 
• I am also currently planning my wedding which has taken a great deal of planning, organisation and research

Written and Oral Skills

• University work including completing essays (many of them!) and presenting seminars have extended my skills in writing, reporting research, and presenting information
• Many hours of reading, researching, and studying academic texts have also built my skills in this area

Fast Learning

• I am very interested in art and history and am very eager to learn all I possibly can about working in the industry
• Again, university has perfected my skills in being able to learn quickly from texts and lectures, and to be able to follow instructions well
• I am also good at taking my own initiative and working things out for myself without having to be told

For these reasons, I believe I would be an excellent candidate for many positions in the arts sector.
