  Freelance Sales

  Sept 2011 - Sept 2012

  Founder of Online Jewelry Shop

  The will to make some extra money and also a name for myself, got me into opening an online hand-made jewelry shop. On top of entrepreneurial skills, I have also gained practical skills of assembling raw materials in order to make a wearable piece of jewelry, and I have learnt the process that goes into designing such accessories. I still have a few albums on Facebook with the work I have done.

  Freelance Blogger

  I started blogging as a way of being able to share the experience I have had so far regarding fashion, university, and lifestyle, and also being able to expressing an opinion. Later on I started branding myself and developed business cards; and I also bought a domain (thanks to the photographer from London Fashion Week who has strongly advised me to “make myself a brand”).I stopped blogging when my domain expired and when I decided to rethink my blog and start it from scratch on a different platform.

  Leaflet Distributor

  Unfortunately I did not get to talk to those I have distributed leaflets as I just had to hand them without explaining what the leaflets were about. I got the chance to talk to different people once in a while, people that were interested in the £5 consultation, but that rarely happened. Not having communication as part of the job was the main reason for quitting.
