I am flexible with regard to time. I am a very organised, punctual and reliable person. I am a non-smoker and a person of sober habits.

Employer comments

Soraya B has definitely been responsible for all the tasks listed and unbelievably, to the fullest extent possible. She is a very well-organised and disciplined person who has a very friendly yet professional approach to her work. She possesses excellent interpersonal skills and never shies away from difficult situations. She tackles challenges head-on and is ever ready to pick up the slack where others may slip up. However, she is not the kind of person who will allow others to take advantage of her. She is a critical and creative thinker who is able to adapt well to new situations and is someone who adds value and meaning to any situation in which she finds herself. I would gladly and unhesitatingly recommend her for any position of responsibility.
