Curriculum Vitae (CV)
What job i'm looking for? My positive points
I am looking for any after hours, part time, online work, until I can find something more permanent. I currently work in a medium sized private pharmacy practice, where I see between 15 & 30 people a day. While I was the Sister in Charge of a private Pharmacy clinic for 6.5 years, I helped between 30 and 40 people a day. This included family planning, immunisation and small surgical procedures. Being bilingual and caring for all made me quite popular with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Most people responded well to my pleasant nature. Professionalism and a cheerful disposition kept clients coming back for advice and assistance. Because of the diverse cases which present themselves suddenly and without warning, a cool head and firm demeanour are essential. Being able to assess an emergency and react with minimum fuss and utmost efficiency is one of my best qualities.

I left this very lucrative job to try to assist my father with the ailing family business, but unfortunately after less than a year it became apparent that there was not much hope for the business in an economy which is struggling to bounce back. Having previously had to manage between 30 and 50 people in a busy factory environment helped me learn how to be prepared and efficient. Although I do not have formal training in some of the above mentioned abilities, I have taught myself how to do each necessary task to the best of my ability, as and when it happens.
I am a multi-skilled person with drive and energy. I see myself being successful in any venture that I undertake. I love people and am very empathetic and understanding. I wished that I could have had the opportunity to become a doctor, because then I would have been able to help even more people. I am flexible and adapt to what is required of me. I am willing to learn and improve myself, as is necessary in order to better myself and my skill set.
