Work experience Association manager, Springwells hotel. For near 3 years from the period of 2010 to 2013 I worked at a small family run hotel. I had to develop skills to deal with customers and to help other staff over those 3 years.
Team leader, Next retail. I worked at Next retail for close to 9 months within the stockroom staff. I came in and within a few months became a team leader of a team of around 20 people on a daily basis. I had to work hard as a lot of other people depended on me.
Professional consultancy pitch, Southampton Solent University. In 2014, I had to pitch in front of a board of people regarding a possible introduction to new operations within the new forest in Hampshire in order to help increase levels of tourism. This experience helped me to develop key communication skills between group members whom I pitched with and the people who I pitched to. I gained good positive feedback that I had contributed sufficient team work and skills to help our group get an overall good grade. # ______________________________________________________________________________ Main skills and attributes I have gained good communication skills, this is mainly through employment and working as a team or being a team leader. Also working in a group for my consultancy pitch has allowed for me to gain good communication skills.
I have gained good leadership skills, this is mainly through becoming a team leader of a small group over some months. This has gave me high levels of responsibility and the team I was leading depended on me so I was required to become a good leader.
Problem solving skills, through being a leader and in certain situations. I was forced to think quickly to solve problems that people would have and gave to me, therefore quick thinking had to be done in order to be a good problem solver.
Main interests As a youngster I have always enjoyed various sports from tennis to golf, however in recent years I have become a regular gym user and like to go most days even at university. I also like to watch sports and am a huge fan of football both watching it and playing it if I have the time. _____________________________________________________________________________ References Please contact me for any references and I would be happy to give them.
