Piper Douglas

Piper Mercedes Douglas (born February 17th 1997) is a hardworking Female who is looking to fill the position on Admin Assistant at HiSmile. Born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, Piper started at the young age of 11 helping her father out at the subway he owned. Whilst she had trouble reaching the carrot at the back to put in customers beloved subs Piper persisted and found ways around the issue and overcame the problem. This was the start of her finding ways to overcome problems in the workplace and learn to never give up. Her first official job was started at the age of 14 at Zarraffa's Coffee, however this was only in school holidays when she flew up to the Gold Coast to visit her father and work at his acquaintances shops. Piper learnt a lot working at Zarraffa's, such as how to make coffees and food preparation but more importantly she learnt not to complain and just get on with the task. You see Piper didn't particularly want to work during the school holidays as she thought this was the time she was meant to have a break and have fun but instead she had to work. However

Her second official jobs happened at the same time and they were at Charlesworth Nuts (a South Australian owned nut and chocolate company) and General Pants Co. Now Piper loved both of these jobs for different reasons, at Charlesworth she got to eat a lot of chocolate for free and at General Pants she was finally living her teenage dream of working in the coolest retail store she knew at the time. The Dilemma here though was that both jobs initially started as christmas casual positions where you are meant to be available almost all the time. This is where the learnt how communication is key to succeed at both of these jobs. There inevitably came a time where the time of both jobs shifts clashed. Initially panicked she wasn't sure what to do however after some wise works of wisdom from her Mother she communicated to the managers of both jobs and came to an agreement on how she could still continue to do shifts at both jobs without anymore clashes and even got asked to continue on as a casual at Charlesworth Nuts. Through this experience she also learnt time management skills as on multiple occasions she had to work at both workplaces in one day and organise how to get there via bus on time.

Pipers current job is at City Beach, Surfers Paradise. This is where she learnt the art of customer service and how to appease all customers as best as she could. In retail as any job customer service is a key aspect the the job. Sometimes she really disliked the person who created the saying "The customer is always right" but at the end of the day she got on with the job and many customers who were unhappy left with a smile on their face. Piper is also a keen lover of snacks, especially sugary ones and is very happy to share around her snacks so if anyone is every in need of a sugar fix, hit her up.

In 5 years time Piper is hoping to have learnt enough skills through her workplace that she can start the beginnings of her own business. Throughout the 5 years she would like to progress through the company and learn many positions in the effort to gain knowledge on how a successful company is run through the perspective of different positions. She is very inspired by the company HiSmile and the owners and would love the learn from some of the best in the business. She is willing to work extremely hard to be successful.

In summary Piper is an extremely hard working individual who is willing to do anything to be successful at any role given to her. Her positive attitude makes her extremely easy to work with and she always has a few jokes on hand to make someone smile with hopefully the pearly white teeth they got from using products from HiSmile.
