About

I am a determined individual who aims to meet the goals I set for myself. I can work both independently and function well in a group. I care about others' happiness and well-being, and therefore can work co-operatively and pleasantly with employers, colleagues and customers. I am capable of turning my hand to whatever job I am entrusted with. I am looking for a job in order to develop my knowledge of the working world, challenge myself and obtain experience for the future. I am an enthusiastic writer and blogger. I write fiction, opinion piece articles and reviews, and number of my pieces were published in my on-campus publications, The Founder and The Jam Magazine. I also ran and contributed to No Time For A Peach Magazine at my sixth-form college. I am passionate, but always make sure that my articles are balanced, controlled and well-researched.

I have worked as a newspaper distributor for the free newspaper The Champion in Parbold. I distributed around 200 papers on a weekly basis, and also had to sort and enclose the provided leaflets beforehand. This job developed my organisational skills, and also improved my time management, as I had to make time to prepare the papers with the leaflets, and complete the round quickly and efficiently. I am looking for work that challenges me more, and gives me better experience for the future.
