My name is Alessia Amaru and I work as Catering Assistant at County RE-Fuel. I am responsible for serving and displaying food, dealing with customers’ requirements, stocking and checking products as well as managing the till. I have received positive feedback from clients after ensuring fast service during rush hours of the day, making sure we avoid long queues and any complaints.

Good time management and organisation skills helped me find a balance between my studies and job.  I work a fair amount of hours a week whilst pursuing a degree in Law. I believe my job has helped me develop important skills – from teamwork and communication to client care and attention to detail.  This aids my professional development and shows I am reliable and flexible. The Employment and Recruitment Service at Lancaster University is helpful and the application process is easily accessible, clear and straightforward, providing students with information and facilities to find part-time jobs whilst still in University.
