“I love being around people and seeing them smile,” says Sinead Sinclair. “This is probably why I find myself in the industry of customer service and hospitality. I’m eager and a fast learner. I love learning new things and believe we can never be too old to learn. I’m very committed, diligent, and determined. I also find myself to be very academically driven. I enjoy being outdoors and active. I face challenges eagerly, as I strongly believe challenges grow and develop us.
I’m a young outgoing person, in my early twenties. I am currently a student at the University of the People, completing my 2nd year, correspondence for my Bachelor of Business Administration Degree.”
Why do I believe I would be the perfect person for this opportunity?
“When I started my first job in 2016 after I matriculated, I was introduced to sommelier activities and learned about pairing wines. Since then I have been very interested in wines, always eager to learn about wines and the process as a whole starting from the soil of the vineyards, to the pouring and tasting of the wine. It has always fascinated me and captured my attention.
I’m extremely reliable and committed and excited to take on this adventure as a challenge and opportunity for growth and development on the topic.
I enjoy participating in Wine Tasting experiences and learning about them. For me, this experience would be really amazing in growing my potential and passion within the wine industry of South Africa. I’m eager and excited to see where this journey will take me. It will be thrilling to see how far I make it, I have already come along way.
Sometimes being a waiter, the knowledge you have is very basic and you almost just open and serve wine that is ordered by the customer. I want to be in a position where I can recommend and share knowledge about specific wines, read a customer, and know exactly what they would like, without disappointing them. I would love to be that person that can be trusted to sell any bottle of wine, to almost any person,” says Sinead.
