Louis De Grande

Motivated and eager to gain early, hands-on experience in a real-world business, IT, or administrative environment ahead of starting my studies. I deliberately took the time to explore different fields before choosing my path, which has given me a clear sense of direction and strong motivation to grow within the business/IT sector. I am a fast learner with solid computer skills and practical experience from fast-paced, team-oriented workplaces, and I'm looking for an opportunity where I can contribute from day one while continuing to build my knowledge and skills.

Waiter at Kattebroek (2022 – 2026)

• Worked reliably in the same role for 4 years at a wedding reception service, demonstrating commitment, dependability, and the ability to stay composed under pressure — all valuable qualities in a fast-paced business environment.
• Managed multiple orders and tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced setting, developing strong time-management, organization, and attention-to-detail skills that translate directly to handling deadlines and juggling priorities in an office or IT role.
• Communicated closely with guests, colleagues, and event organizers, strengthening client-facing communication skills that are equally valuable when liaising with colleagues or clients in a business setting.

Student Job at Bio-Planet (2020 – 2021)

• Handled cash register operations, giving me hands-on experience with financial transactions, accuracy, and accountability — directly relevant to accounting and business-support tasks.
• Rotated between stock management, restocking, and till duties, which sharpened my organizational skills and my ability to track and manage information systematically, like working with data or IT systems.
• Adapted quickly to new tasks and responsibilities and learned to work efficiently within a team — skills that will help me integrate quickly and contribute from the start in a new company.
