Ayman Adai

A combination of factors including; a variety of titles held in the past, extensive customer service experience, and an innate sense of adapting to an independent or team-oriented environment leads me to believe that I would be a great fit for the position being offered. The positions that compose my employment history and formal education have exposed me to many key facts of running and working in a healthy, prospering business environment. In return, it has made me knowledgeable in areas, but not limited to, OD structure, MIS reports, training, retention, hiring, performance management, operations, employee relations, quality customer service, and management. Prime examples of titles held at Dubai Islamic Bank would validate the previously mentioned. I am a reliable employee, with an ability to communicate with both my co-workers and customers professionally, efficiently, and with a great team-oriented attitude. Thus, my work experience will help me achieve all goals expected of me.
