Candidate Shortlist
I have experience working across both administrative and retail roles, including within a legal facility where I was responsible for handling sensitive documents, coordinating meetings, and arranging travel schedules. This role helped me develop a strong attention to detail, a professional phone manner, and confidence in navigating confidential and time-sensitive information. I am proficient in Microsoft 365 and Adobe, and I’ve had hands-on experience with scheduling, inbox management, and client-facing communication.I consider myself a strong multitasker with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a natural ability to work well with people. As a visual learner, I believe a traineeship would be an ideal opportunity to further develop my skills through real-world experience while continuing to learn in a structured environment.
Alicia presents as a confident and capable candidate with prior experience in both general administration and within a legal firm setting.

Alicia also holds a driver’s license and has access to her own transport. While she noted she would ideally require one week’s notice, she did mention she can start immediately if needed, which gives her flexibility to support the business as soon as required. I believe she would bring immediate value while also benefiting from the structured support of the program.
