Fast learner

A typical day at work would be dealing with paitients helping them choose frames for their lenses then doing quotations then invoicing out to medical aids. I also do the orders for the lenses deal with oncoming calls debtors work more work with paitients and assisting them with their needs. I am very sociable therefore i have a good relationship with my co-workers. I have learnt to work under pressure. To push myself and handle challenges positvely. I have learnt a lot about peoples needs and how to keep patients happy. I enjoy working with people I love handling challenging tasks as I enjoy working hard to reach my goals. time constraint given the amount of paitients we recieve in the day as well doing admin work.

Pros: great opportunity to meet new people
Cons: working long hours

Excellent learning curve

A typical working day starts at 7:00am for me. I have a very good professional relationship with my co-workers. I have learnt to not be emotional about work or issues which may arise and never run away from conflict. I enjoy training staff and achieving excellent service levels with Specavers customers and empowering staff meeting targets which is required by management. the most challenging aspects is managing expectations of staff and customers but always think differently and never apply the same recipe to all issues.

Pros: Business knowledege
Cons: no career or financial growth,long working hours

Helping with customer communication, admin and data capturing.

I work with new people every half an hour when they come in for their appointment meaning that I get challenged with different personalities a lot which helps with knowing how to handle different kinds of people. I am a person who loves working in teams so I get along with my co-workers very well. I have learned that you need to put the customer's needs first and that prioritizing is very important. I enjoy meeting new people every day and building relationships with them.

Pros: Great opportunity for learning how to sell a product and to read different personalities
Cons: You have to maintain the same "happy" personality no matter how you feel
