The owner and manager of Arcade Eats in Ayr when it flooded in May of 2023, Amanda Wassmuth was left in a tough spot.
Come October, she was putting her decades of experience in admin and hospitality to use in her new role of Office Administrator at Raine & Horne Ayr, a role she’s held ever since.
“The hospitality experience has definitely been good for my customer service skills, especially as the first point of contact at the office" she said.
She’s now poised to take another giant step, this time into a relatively new space—Sales Assistance.
The step up will see Amanda take on expanded responsibilities across the sales support function, including assisting agents with listings and coordinating client communications, while continuing to oversee key back-office payroll and compliance duties.
She called the opportunity “exciting but nerve-racking,” but remains confident with the support of her team.
“It's like a family," she said.
“Everyone gets along, we all communicate great, and it just makes dealing with things easier on the day-to-day. Everything works itself out 90-per-cent of the time.”
Outside of work, Amanda enjoys spending time on the family farm with her loved ones. She also enjoys cooking, an interest nurtured during her time in hospitality.
“I’ve never been able to cook for one person, so the girls at work get a lot of food," she said.
In her new role, she’ll continue to bring plenty to the table in more ways than one.
