Pasta, starters and desserts chef.

As a KP, I was responsible for taking stock and deliveries whilst maintaining the hygiene of the kitchen and communicating with the kitchen and restaurant staff at the same time.

Time management was a skill that was essential there, which I believe is useful in any working environment.

Working as a Kitchen Porter isn't a fixed hour job, as you cannot leave a task incomplete and neither can you compromise on the standard of work you're doing. I keep the same attitude towards any work I start, and it doesn't align with my morals to leave work incomplete or compromise on the standard of my work.

Communication & Teamwork are other skills that I built up on; working in a kitchen can be a stressful environment for some. Therefore it is essential that you communicate with your colleagues effectively in order to achieve the best results. I was able to develop on my soft skills, which I think are important in any workplace.

:-Shadowed clinical staff in the A&E Department.
:-Assisted with completion of administrative and non–clinical clerical work for physicians.
:-Helped patients and general visitors navigate the hospital.

During my internship at the airport, I gained invaluable experience in various facets of airport operations, including listening to communications between ATC and pilots, understanding security procedures, and managing facility services.

I collaborated with different departments, including Facility Management Services and Aero Commercial, where I assisted the team negotiate deals with airlines. My role emphasized the importance of providing excellent hospitality to passengers, working closely with Passenger Airport liaisons and experience officers.

This experience honed my skills in multitasking, problem-solving, and attention to detail, making me well-equipped for roles requiring a strong foundation in operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
