~~~~~~~~~~ EMPLOYMENT HISTORY ~~~~~~~~~~
Retail AssistantOpen All Hours Ltd | Keswick May 2010 > Present
I managed inventory coming in a going out of the shop. Ordered new stock when it was needed and oversaw deliveries.
- I worked as a cashier for four of the six years of working there, meaning I was able to exercise my interpersonal skills and customer service.
- Although I wasn’t the most senior member of staff, working there for six years meant that many new team members joined after me, meaning I had to train new staff to use the tills, the computer system and how to manage orders.
- This job has allowed me to develop my team working, problem solving and interpersonal skills. I was called in to solve IT-related issues on many different occasions.
Web/ Graphic DesignerGrayscape Web Design | Leeds October 2015 > June 2016
- I set up this business to run alongside my university studies, offering to create and publish websites, cover SEO and logo design for small to medium sized businesses.
- Certain clients also required management of their Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ presences.
- Within the first few months of starting this venture, I was working closely with some businesses in the Headingley area. This included PRI Lettings, a new letting agent that required a website and general help with their online presence. The website can be found at prilettings.co.uk. Sam, the director, was very happy with my work.
- This post showed me the importance of business-to-client interaction as I had to establish the client’s needs and requirements before starting the project. This meant a lot of face-to-face interaction was required, as well as email and phone conversations.
- Another client was Templeway Properties in Headingley. I was asked to do some website maintenance. This included taking new property photos and publishing them on to their site.
- I used my strength in time management to efficiently complete projects to a deadline. I never ran over time and my clients were always satisfied.
