Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and skilled in the usage of various office equipment and machinery.
My skills in front desk reception and support prepare me to excel in this role with the Shaloma Hotel, and I am confident my additional strengths will render me an immediate asset to your team. The opportunity to offer more insight into my qualifications would be appreciated.
