Teaching AssistantBroughton Junior School Nov 2013 - May 2014Aylesbury, United KingdomAs a teaching assistant, I made sure that all of the children’s work has been filed into the correct folders, photocopy all of the necessary work and help out in creating displays around the school whilst taking part in extra-curriculum activities. When I joined the school, I was assigned to work with an autistic student where my main job was to keep him focused on his work and try to encourage him to engage with new activities around the school. As a midday supervisor, I had a responsibility that all of the children from all years were in a safe environment indoors and outdoors. On the playground, I would make sure that all of the students were playing with each other in a safe manner, where I would also introduce new games/activities, for some children who weren’t as social as others.

Administrative AssistantLema Publishing Ltd Sep 2012 - Sep 2013Berkhamsted, United KingdomAs an administrative assistant, my main duty consisted of creating and putting information into the spreadsheets for the sales and editorial department, so that they can access their clients or contacts with ease. For a period of time, I chased up payment for the finance department from companies who hadn't paid for their advertisement space. I was praised by my bosses for chasing up £30,000 in one week in June 2013. I would regularly answer the switchboard where I spoke to hundreds of people from all over the world. I would then take down their messages and payment details. I was invited to the 2013 London Toy Fair in January 2013 where I managed to encourage over 200 people to subscribe to our most popular magazine ‘Toys N Playthings’. I also went on to interview a number of clients from all over the world for our website which included then Tottenham Hotspur forward, Clint Dempsey. My bosses praised me for the hard work that I showed at the Toy Fair, saying that I was the ‘starlet of the exhibition’.
