Work History
I started working part time for Chips video game store in Middlesbrough in October 2004 and finished working there Dec 2005. My main reason for employment was to complete tasks such as web orders, although I quickly started to assist the staff in the head office warehouse, where the stock was coming in during the Christmas rush. They needed help so I was happy to help.
My role included liaising with the customers and assisting with their choices. My other duties included handling cash, using the computers to allocate stock from head office and using the tills. This job was commenced March 2004 - June of that year.
Previous to the above I was employed with numerous gyms as a fitness instructor. I have excellent communication skills as while working in the gyms I needed to spend up to 1 hour with a single gym user, advising them on their health and showing how to use the equipment.

Achievements
Within my role at Chips, I have learnt how to process mail orders, use credit card machines, and improve my telephone communication skills as customers would call enquiring on the products available. In previous employment I have learnt to liaise with customers on a face to face basis amongst others skills.
