My summer placement has seen me take a leading role in the creation of Newham Council’s new staff intranet (8000+ users). Whilst originally being hired as a copy assistant to migrate content from the old intranet to the new one I quickly took on more responsibility. Now alongside my content management role I am advising the project leader on usability and.

Alongside my full time employment I am currently working alongside another designer and the Clickstart project leader to assist in the redesign of the Clickstart accessible web portal platform developed for service users with special needs. This I am doing voluntarily to hone my user experience skills. More details to follow.

In order to support myself during my studies I have produced websites for a number of clients. These sites utilise XHTML, CSS coding. MySQL and PHP for backend databases. My skills are expanding all of the time and I will continue producing the occasional website as and when an opportunity arrises.

After performing well on a database module in my first semester of 2009 my tutor requested I assist in her next module as a technical demonstrator. This role involves supporting tutors during workshops, answering technical questions regarding the software being used and generally making myself useful.I have found I really enjoy helping students with their.

At the beginning of 2009 I did a work placement at a local comprehensive school organised through my university. During my placement I was required to support ICT teachers during their lessons. I had a great deal of success working one to one with several year 11 students and helped raise the standard of the coursework they were producing by explaining the.

My time at Aid My Pc awakened a deep interest in computers and I taught myself a number of computer repair skills to aid the stores technician with his workload. I was the only native English speaker working at the store (including the management). This meant that I was regularly required to liaise with customers providing quotes and explaining difficult.

In this small sales office I was tasked with researching and overseeing marketing for the company. This involved attending trade-shows/ networking events and creating advertisements for the yellow pages and local business guides. I also had to learn the fundamentals of web design and publishing in order to have constructive dialog with our web designers.

Whilst at MRB insurance I became adept at developing a dialog with customers and persuading them to speak to our sales team. I was always in the top two for the number of transfers to the sales floor.

During my time as an operator I quickly progressed through the companies grading system onto the more difficult accounts. I regularly took over a hundred calls a day and had the fastest call resolution rate. As I had to take down callers details during a live call being a fast typist was essential for the role. Whilst in this employment I gained a calm.

When I started at Message Pad I always finished my assigned tasks early and asked for more to do. This caused me to quickly rise from post room boy to become a key member of the helpdesk team. Upon my promotion I trained and supervised a team of two post room staff. With their help I increased the output of the direct marketing literature we distributed on.

I helped e7 Arts by producing their newsletter. I also produced posters to promote upcoming events the group were holding.
