Summary

Professional Reservationist/Travel Consultant delivering faultless service across telephone, email and in-person bookings. Multitasks well to manage reservation duties within target timeframes. Friendly and enthusiastic for increased customer satisfaction. My preference is to venture into another sector such as the one presented by your firm (financial planner), I believe I have all equipment needed to start. I own my own vehicle, and am in possession of my drivers licente since 2006. I own a smartphone as well as laptop. I am also currently a student at NUST doing my bachelors in communication (1st year). I do not have financial planning experience but am a fast learner especially with systems and am excellent with communicating with people.
