When working as an administrative assistant I possessed extensive office experience that covered general administration, human resources and reception duties. As an administrative assistant, I understand how essential it is to be well organized, methodical and the importance of meeting deadlines. I believe I have an exceptional telephone manner and strong communication skills verbally and in writing.

During summer 2015, I secured a 4-week internship at a Corporate Travel Management company in London. I gained a first-hand insight into the corporate travel sector and learnt how to use the global distribution system ‘Amadeus’. In addition, I assisted the business travel consultants with bookings and enquiries. This internship gave me a great opportunity to not only gain experience and contacts within the industry, but also provided me with experience working in a fast-paced environment.

The main duties of this role were to contact a database of prospective clients and sell them the company’s products as well maintaining ongoing relationships with customers to maintain business. I gained brilliant communication skills and developed a brilliant telephone manner when working as a Telesales agent.

I worked for a specialist travel agent that offers tailor-made holiday experiences. I was responsible for the company’s destination research and web content, with these two areas requiring me to carry out detailed research on different worldwide destinations and turn that research into engaging web content designed to attract and inspire potential holidaymakers who are looking for a more original and authentic holiday experience.
