  Mungoswells farm

  May 2014 - Jul 2020

  Seasonal agricultural worker

  As my first employment from a family friend, I have annually been employed as a seasonal farm worker in addition to my other roles. Originally as a simple field worker, I have now become intricately involved with several other activities on the farm. Thus, having developed a strong relationship with the farm manager, I have been able to gain significant experience of the trials and tribulations in the practical running of an organic arable farm. Increased awareness of conservation measures, environmental impacts, ever-changing policy and subsidy requirements provided an ideal insight into agriculture and the environment as combined components of modern land management.

  May 2016 - Sept 2017

  Seasonal greenkeeper

  I have also spent two summers as a seasonal greenkeeper for Gullane Golf Club, responsible for maintaining the overall quality of the course. This involved coordination and diligence in replanting, working manually and operating agricultural machinery. The early starts and weekend work involved being punctual and having the ability to work flexible shifts in all weather conditions. I also became experienced in the use of agricultural vehicles and gardening equipment.

  Basc

  Jul 2018 - Aug 2018

  Work experience

  I spent a period of work experience observing and learning the skills involved with working in Britain’s largest shooting corporation. I was involved in the creation of an article for the organisation’s monthly magazine. This role allowed me to gain experience in researching and drawing up written material which is not purely academic. I also helped in the management and maintenance of a children’s bush craft experience day run by BASC. I was able to develop my ability to work with children whilst also coordinating the course effectively alongside BASC workers. Thus, teamwork and good communication with my colleagues was key.

  Administrative assistant

  In addition to my university commitments I have been performing secretarial work and miniature research assignments for a local law firm. The ability to multi-task and submit assignments to a professional standard will stand me in good stead for future employment.
