Simon Rapisardi

I was able to acquire an internship as part of Griffith University's 'Community Internship' program. This program matched students seeking with experience to various non-for-profits and other charitable organisations geared to making a difference within their communities. My internship was with Lighthouse Care, a non-for-profit that's mission is to provide affordable groceries to those undergoing hardship. Being established in 2004, the organisation now operates two stores housing over 600 products. In my role at the internship, I was looking to recruit volunteers. This required me to create job descriptions, manage and handle applicant emails, while also interviewing and inducting volunteers. I also was able to create a document showcasing to volunteers how their experience at Lighthouse Care could be used to find employment.

As an experienced crew member with 5 years of service, I was able to further develop prior core skills while excelling in skills both for my role and other roles such as maintenance and overnight work. Key responsibilities include: Provide effective and efficient customer service with a smile Ability to work in a dynamic paced environment Effective management of stock levels Keeping a clean and safe working environment

As my first work experience, I was able to develop core skills that would stick with me within future work experience. Key responsibilities include: Working with new referees and teams on a regular basis Effective time management ensuring games kick off on time Knowledge and application of the laws of the game Generating match notes and reports
