Work Experience

Mount Carmel Private Hospital

Clerical Assistant

While I was employed here, my role was to provide administrative support during the process of winding down process the hospital. I was given a variety of tasks such as archiving, data entry, photocopying of confidential medical records. I was also given the task of liaising with patients and staff to furnish requested medical records.

2014 - 2015

FixHub

Phone repairs and sales

In 5th and 6th year of secondary school, I had my first taste of entrepreneurship. I noticed the high price of phone repairs compared to the cost of the parts and the high rate of phone damage. My first project was to bring a water damaged Phone back to life, and once I succeeded, I knew the business had potential. With a healthy market in my school, I began fixing phones for students and teachers alike. This venture continued up until the Leaving Certificate when I had to stop to focus on my studies.

2015 - 2016

Nurse On Call

Healthcare Assistant

I underwent a Fetac level 5 in healthcare support in parallel with my first year of college. I graduated with ease getting a distinction and worked in many hospital and nursing homes throughout this time. This job necessitated a high level of patient contact, interpersonal skills and team engagement. This job enabled me to learn invaluable soft skills such as conversation skills and improve my emotional intelligence. The job responsibilities included:

  • Facilitating with patient physical comfort, eating and drinking and mobility.
  • Assisting patients with their hygiene needs.
  • Using appropriate equipment in accordance with the Hospital Moving & Handling policy to support patient’s needs where applicable.

Hospitality Services Group

Range of hospitality roles

While on a J1 in Chicago I worked in the hospitality industry for a premier staffing company for high-end clients, catering companies, and hotels throughout Northwest Indiana, Chicago, and the Chicagoland area. While working for this organisation, I undertook many job roles including banquet server, porter, busser, steward, barback, bartender, houseman and custodial roles. Working here provided me with the opportunity to work in many high-end events in Chicago such as in Hancock tower, Lincoln Park Zoo, the Field Museum and Navy Pier. The front of house roles required me to maintain a positive attitude while being friendly and chatty to any people I may come across while the back of house roles required me to have attention to detail while maintaining close communication with my co-workers to ensure the event was executed smoothly. This job improved my flexibility and adaptability skills, every day the job was different and with minimal training I had to adapt to ensure continuous high standards of customer service

The user also has the opportunity to login to GitHub using OAuth to increase the query limit and get additional data
