I have a great cash handling record in my current position. I handled large volumes of cash every day and make sure I'm very attentive and accurate when dealing with all transactions. Working in a fast-paced environment I have to multi-task. I could be serving 4 customers at the same time and still balancing my accounts at the end of the day. I'm great at finding discrepancies and balancing tills. I have also experience in using electronic transactions. I can manually settle transactions if our systems fail, for example, working out what a customer is owed without having to use a computer system.
