  Supervisor

  This job requires great organisation skills as it involves booking and managing children's parties. As it is constant contact with young children, there is a lot of patience involved as well as excellent customer service skills as you will often be working directly with anxious parents. Teamwork is essential in this job as the safety of the children in this play area depends on everyone being in the place that they are supposed to be at the right time. Often I will have to work long hours and have to stay highly motivated and upbeat throughout these long days.

  Firework consulting llc

  May 2016 - Sept 2017

  Marketing executive

  I have just finished working for Firework Consulting LLC in Texas, in the United States. It was a new company and I played a crucial part in building a brand identity for them. As head of their new marketing department, I took it upon myself to build up an online presence. This involved website building, social media set up as well as various types of push marketing, including by post and phone calls. This allowed me to build a client base for the company and as a result, in my time there, I was able to expand and grow the business. During my time with this company, I was also a project manager for property renovations as well as looking after the day to day care of tenants in rental properties. Other duties involved finding and screening suitable new tenants for rental properties and also finding buyers for homes that we were selling. I worked with a broad range of new tasks, beyond my depth at the time, and I am confident in trying new things and often thrive under pressure as a result. Unfortunately due to visa limitations, my time at this company was cut short, however the experience that they provided me with was substantial Show less
