      Airport Greeter

      Greet and hand out StudyPerth welcome packs to international students arriving at Perth Airport. An awesome job throughout March as I am able to help plenty of students enjoy a positive first experience in Perth. I have also managed to work with a few international students during shifts and make some friends in the process. While not an actual part of the job, I have often been able to help visitors who are not international students but simply stuck at a point in the airport. It has also been great to help them and feel the happiness, relief and gratitude from them. This job has been an A+ for being able to provide good hospitality. My deepest thanks to StudyPerth for this program. My door will always be open to the organization even after this program is over. Show less
