I previously was employed as a digital marketing executive whereby I collaborate with a team to manage the social media content of around 17 accounts on several platforms. We post regular high quality content to market events within relevant industries and work in a B2B format. This involves strong time management and organisational skills, as no two days are the same. This role helps me to thrive in a challenging but rewarding environment while strengthening the skills I have learnt from my previous educational and work experiences.

This role involves me giving excellent customer service and teach other staff members to do the same. This is achieved by welcoming new staff and training them to a high standard. Alongside this, I deal precisely with cash and accurately monitor stock. I must obtain a large amount of product information and successful selling techniques to enhance company profits. Subsequently, I complete visual merchandising tasks to understand how the visual appeal of products and information determines its rate of success. This links well to the significant affect communication has on individual companies, whereby it can make or break a business.

This role brought my leadership skills to the forefront as I frequently supervise shifts to ensure that all tasks are completed and done to a high standard. Time-management is another key skill I use when supervising others. I have strengthened my interpersonal skills by building work relationships with the management and sales teams. This was achieved through regular communication with both which involved active listening and the acknowledgment of experiences and expertise. Problem solving skills are important when working with the public and these have been intensified within my role as a supervisor since customers must come to me directly with any queries or concerns. For example, to calm down an angry customer I actively listen to their issues or experiences and in my response, I resolve the issue by remaining calm, apologising, empathising and offering a solution to the issue.Moreover, I took charge of the stores social media pages where I effectively communicated with the target audience to ensure they are informed of the company's latest deals and promotions. I done this by creating which contain key sales items and relevant promotions. Since beginning this project in the store's Facebook reach increased significantly. Also, I started the stores first Instagram page which gained great follower growth. These digital experiences have positively impacted my technological, creative and analytical skills through analysing the results of social media outreach and content. Through this company, I have undergone first aid training which certifies that I can effectively deal with health and safety concerns. It also makes certain I know how to react in emergency situations.

Throughout my time with this company, I exhibited strong time-management, communication, and attentiveness through my role as a sales associate since I had to complete tasks effectively, such as restocking and cleaning, while also serving customers and paying attention to their needs. Furthermore, I regularly worked on food preparation, tills and clearing up after showings. To illustrate my flexibility in the workplace, I would also go over regular sales briefs with staff to identify areas where they should improve, and area where they were doing well.I spent some time as a training buddy where I welcomed new people to the company and carried out weekly briefs with the staff regarding sales procedures and techniques. This provided me with a leadership role within the company and meant I was responsible for ensuring good sales on a weekly basis.
