PROFILE
I'm a sociable and enthusiastic person who genuinely enjoys working with people and keeping things running smoothly. I had my first taste of hospitality working as waiting staff at a local café back home in Ukraine, and honestly I loved it — the fast pace, the communication with customers, the teamwork, I feel it suited me. I'm now based in the UK, finishing off my ESOL Entry 3 and about to start a Level 2–3 Business course in September. I'm looking for a part-time role to work while studying where I can be useful from day one, keep learning, and be part of a good team.
EXPERIENCE
Waiting Staff Local Cafe, Ukraine 2024 (2–3 weeks)
– Welcomed customers and showed them to their tables — always made sure they felt at ease from the moment they walked in.
– Took orders for food and drinks, double-checked everything and passed it on to the kitchen clearly.
– Kept an eye on tables throughout service — topped up drinks, cleared plates, checked in without being annoying about it.
– Dealt with the odd complaint or special request calmly and sorted it out without needing to escalate.
– Helped tidy and reset the floor between sittings, and stayed behind to prep for the next shift when needed.

Volunteer – Confectionery & Sales Community Fundraiser, Ukraine 2022 (until 2024)
– Made handmade caramel sweets as part of a community fundraising effort during a really difficult time — it felt good to be doing something useful.
– Helped sell them locally, which meant lots of chatting to people, handling small amounts of money and just being friendly and approachable.
– Turned up consistently and put the effort in — that's just how I work.
SKILLS
– Customer service – comfortable talking to all kinds of people, keeping the mood positive.
– Teamwork – I'd rather help a colleague than leave them stuck, always.
– Communication – clear, friendly and easy to work with (three languages helps too).
– Food & drink service – taking orders, serving, clearing and resetting.
– IT & computer literacy – confident using everyday software and picking up new systems quickly.
– Numeracy – fine with handling orders, cash and keeping a tally.
ACHIEVEMENTS & INTERESTS
Judo – 8 Years Competitive
– Competed for 8 years, winning 2 gold medals, 3 silver and around 10–15 bronze at regional and national level.
– Judo taught me discipline, focus and how to handle pressure — things I carry into everything I do.
– Training alongside teammates gave me a strong sense of respect and working together toward a shared goal.

Guitar – 7 Years, Graduated Music School
– Played guitar for 7 years and completed a full music school programme — so I actually finished something properly, which not everyone does.
– Music keeps me patient and focused, and I genuinely enjoy it as a creative outlet away from work and study.
