Working for Coast to Coast Surf School is a fantastic job to have gained straight after my university studies. I have known the owner of C2C Surf School for a few years now and wrote a paper on the company for one of the modules I studied at Edinburgh Napier. This job gives me the opportunity to learn, develop and improve real life business skills and gain an understanding of the business world. Dealing with the administrative aspects means that I am both customer facing and forward thinking in the behind the scenes running of the business. The size and maturity of the company allows me to be innovative in my role in terms of practices and procedures, marketing and the future development of the company. My role entails everything from dealing with customers, over the phone, email and face to face, to representing the company at key marketing events and ensuring that we are making the most of every opportunity. Of course the job has the added benefit of being located by a beautiful beach and coast meaning I can surf and SUP after work with the other staff members!
