EXPERIENCE
SEPT 2021
Work Experience
UK PROPERTY FORUMS
At my time working with Uk Property Forum, I assisted in the preparation of Uk Prop fest, this was a networking event. I also attended the Uk Prop fest and I assisted the designer and marketing team in order to create the leaflets, brochures and advertising for the event. I worked on reception and front desk on the day of the event welcoming people in. This experience taught me about how to make advertising look appealing and how to draw peoples attention. It was very different to previous work I had done before and I believe that the experience taught me a lot of skills especially in the field of marketing and strategising.

Retail Assistant
SCREWFIX - WINCHESTER
I worked at Screwfix for 9 months. Throughout my time with the company I engaged with a range of customers, I did a lot of work on the tills and being the first face people saw as they walked in. This experience taught me how to interact with all types of people.
It was a very full-on job, and some days were very busy, and I would serve up to 60 people an hour, this taught me how to be fast on my feet and to come up with solutions to people’s problems quickly.

Waitress
HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA
I was a waitress in one of the Royal tents. I had to talk to customers and ensure that they had the best service possible, I also had to deliver and serve food to people. On several days I served over 300 people and this really encouraged me to become more confident talking to people Even though it was very busy and hot inside the tent I was able to remain calm and collected and be polite and positive when it came to serving the clients. It was a very demanding job but I was able to deliver all the clients the service that was expected at the event.
JUN 2018
All Round Employee
GREEN PARK - MAPLETREE
This role consisted of multiple different departments. I worked as a receptionist for a little bit, I also helped the catering staff. I managed the phones. Cleaned offices. This role taught me a variety of different skills sets which I have since used in my everyday life. Working with the receptionist team taught me that you always have to have a happy face as you are the first person people see when they come into the office. It also enhanced my presentation skills as I had to stand up and talk to people and I had to direct people to different rooms and locations so it played a huge advantage to my people skills and my public speaking as I got more confident talking to people I didn't know.
