I have already worked at the Chicago Tourism Office and the Chicago-Rent-a-Bike Club, where I worked in the back office. I dealt with customer requests and kept the database up to date. I greatly enjoyed the mix of office tasks and talking with people. As I attend a vocational school for tourism, I have experience in customer service and have learnt how to work under pressure. I like to take on responsibility and am an enthusiastic person who would like to work in a dynamic team. In my free time, I help to organise monthly cycling tours for children aged 8 to 14, so I know Chicago’s network of cycling paths well. Together with an adult, I look after 10 children and make sure everybody has a good time. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at: erinmitts@gmt.at. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Erin Mitts Green Hotels in Chicago Chicago has many Green Seal certified hotels.
