Experience

• 

  Sainsbury's

  Apr 2008 - Sept 2010

  Applied my skills to numerous areas of the company in three different stores in the UK. This included assisting customers through their buying experience in store, building good relationships with regulars, ensuring all products are at their best in terms of quality, and maintaining the upkeep of the store. This position was work experience in the area of PR for me to use as experience. Reading the morning papers to check on current events that can be used for future advertising, filing and tidying the papers, sorting the articles in association to specific stores into packs that are sent to each store as a ‘feel good’ book, writing a press release for a summer running event about strawberries.

This includes setting up the room daily with toys and activities to progress their learning, behavior management, and lesson plans.I use the curriculum to further their development by preparing focused activities suited to their individual needs, and producing evidence of this for their “learning journey book” through use of observations and pictorial evidence.
