The MIND journal (Oxford University Press) is one of the most respected academic philosophy journals in the world, and I was immensely grateful for the chance to work for it. My writing skills and knowledge of the English language, extensively developed throughout my time in academia, have been further refined and tested under the pressure of having to spot errors and mistakes in the work of professional academics; consequently it has also helped me to sharpen my eye for detail.

A varied role that required a surprising amount of working knowledge of the hotel in order to carry out effectively. Having quickly gained the skills necessary to carry out all relevant reception and administrative work, the knowledge and skill to run the bar, and using previous knowledge and skills from my time working in the bistro, I have since covered assistant manager shifts—which includes being duty manager—which entailed being responsible for 80+ guests and staff over a ten hour period.This job was intended as a way to fund my PhD, but has proven useful in giving me skills and experience applicable to many areas of work where I previously had none, or very little.

Also included training new staff, and training all staff in making barista-style coffee; I am very passionate about coffee and took it upon myself to become the resident expert.Further to this, I achieved a score of over 95% two times running in mystery guest reports, a feat unmatched by any other member of staff.
