I am currently working in business development for an online business that provides university students with discounts on products in their local area. Part of my job is the delevopment of business relations, cold calling and continuous business delevopment. I am selling them various spaces on our website by explaining to them what they will get for their money. Depending on the size of the business I am negotiating with determines how prominent they will be on the site. Some marketing campaigns we have drawn up have included physical marketing (flyering, launch parties, posters, window stickers etc.) as well as social marketing through Facebook, Twitter etc. Where we run competitions, polls, ask questions, promote various parts of the site and negotiate one of Facebook offers with companies as well as a mixture of other methods. The skills I have learnt are how to market my product to the correct audience; this includes physical and online marketing as well as creating a market presence. Other skills include building business relations, having a professional telephone manner and showing great customer service.

When I was back for summer and Christmas from university I worked part time at a men’s retail clothing store. Starting as a sales assistant I helped customers on the shop floor. As I gained more experience my responsibilities changed and I moved in to a role where I was managing staff. I would inform them of what their responsibilities were and instruct them as to what to do for the day ahead.

Whilst at university I worked at the local football club as a steward, my duties included: - Helping supporters with any queries - Being alert to any potential problems with the behavior of supporters - Building relationships with regular customers - Working in a large team

One of the jobs I had at university was working for an events company. I started out selling tickets where I learnt to build rapport and relationships with students who became regular customers. My responsibilities were heightened in my final year where I would be part of the team that would market the events and be part of a team responsible for finding venues, DJs and other imperative parts of the evening.
