This part-time job alongside my sixth form studies lay the foundations required for many jobs. As a Retail Operative, I was faced with the demands of a fast-paced, energetic environment. I learnt to maintain a high standard of any given job whilst putting the customer at the heart of any task. My main jobs included handling cash and card payments, maintaining the stock levels on the shop floor and visual merchandising.

I currently work part-time for my Student's Union at UEA, as part of the promotions team for a range of student events. This position allows me to be in constant communication with the student body, to grasp the demands of my peers. The role involves then reporting to my management team and devising innovative strategies of how to promote future events.

My role as a Student Ambassador for UEA predominantly involves promoting not just the University of East Anglia, but high education in general. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my experiences with prospective students and gain satisfaction from reassuring them in their journey. My job role requires leading talks and tours to often large groups and has greatly improved my interpersonal skills. I am constantly facing new challenges as a Student Ambassador and have furthered my ability to quickly make decisions, solve problems and be assertive.

The course has demanded the ability to essay write, edit, proof read and analyse, as well as ensuring confidence in public speaking through a number of presentations.
