job
Graduate Sports Coach
Kings College School Wimbledon.
Developing new and creative coaching sessions for myself and other members of staff to use
has allowed me to become more confident in myself to voice innovative ideas that I may have and to deliver them affectively and passionately.
• Working in a fast paced environment has allowed me to develop the skill of using my initiative
wisely whilst thinking on my feet to ensure that tasks get completed to the highest standard.
It has also meant that I am sometimes responsible for leading groups that I am not usually with which has taught me to be more courageous when interacting with unfamiliar faces.
• Being a member of a large department has given me the opportunity to stretch and challenge
myself in subject areas that I have less experience in. I have been observing the different heads of sports to increase my knowledge and skillset in sports such as rugby, football and basketball
where I am now able to comfortably lead sessions on my own due to my desire to learn.

job
Hostess
Atik Oxford.
• During this role I learnt to maximise sales, for example up selling extra bottles of alcohol than originally ordered to the tables and therefore increasing the clubs profits for the evening. This has allowed me to become more confident in selling products without being too pushy and driving customers away.
• Improving my customer service is another skill that I adopted during my time at Atik. I was always on hand for the customers I was responsible for and willing to go above and beyond to ensure that they enjoyed their night. This in turn has made it easier for me to approach customers and build a good rapport, whilst being fervent about my role as a hostess.
• A further skill I developed was enhancing my patients with difficult customers. Due to the job being in a club I was faced with problematic drunken customers which I managed to face extremely well and not get frustrated with. This meant that I was able to work on my patients with challenging customers until they were satisfied and there were no complaints.

am an approachable individual as I was on the front door of the meet and greet to the celebrities attending the BBC Welsh Sports Personality of the year 2014.
