Really great company, very flexible and supportive. I was doing hardcore copy-typing for two Solicitors

I was a trainee recruitment consultant with them working on two of their key contracts. Was a lot of fun and gave me a lot of skills. Unfortunately very pressured and poor HR, my employment was terminated after I was ill for three weeks when I developed a serious condition.

I had a part-time role assisting in the organisation, promotion and running of Wedding Fayres while I was at college and university. The role involved dealing with the needs of exhibitors and the general public. Prior to the event I would be involved in promotional activities and during the event in ensuring its smooth running.

The company was London based and I managed the Cardiff campaigns, and the role involved autonomously thinking and acting to market global brands. Each project included elements of: market research, event management, presentation speaking, brand awareness and promotion, creating publicity (distribution or publishing), and negotiating with local retailers. Specific examples of work include organising and running small intimate tasting events and piggy backing promotions onto key music events in venues 1800 to 3000 strong which required strong negotiation skills (Creation and Cardiff Students Union). I also delivered handover training to my successor. Show less
