  Mytime Active

  Apr 2015 - Dec 2015

  Party Host

  Being a party host takes a lot of organisation and requires high communication skills as you have to be able to effectively communicate with both young children and adults. My job role requires me to take leadership of children's parties from ages 2 - 10 and I'm fully responsible for each child. I'm required to welcome parents and the party guests, show them where their party was being held and provide them with food, cake and refreshments. I also go on outreach duties, approaching the general public handing out leaflets and verbally promoting the Spa's upcoming events and offers. Show less

  Merlin Entertainments plc

  Feb 2016 - Oct 2016

  Admissions Host - Madame Tussauds

  As an admissions host at one of London's top attractions, I have gained a wealth of experience in customer service. I am required to welcome, direct and control crowds of up to 14,000 a day. In such a customer facing role I developed my communication skills and can comfortably and professionally deal with dissatisfied customers. The attraction also attracts many overseas guests and working here has lead to me being able to find ways of communicating with people who don't speak English. As part of my role I also up-sell attraction programs and other Merlin attraction tickets, giving me a degree of sales experience. Show less
