Career History

Poundland                                                                    June 2014 – to date
I work on the shop floor and tills. Whilst on the shop floor I work through the delivery making sure the area is tidy and hazardous free, also helping customers locate products when required. When my colleagues are busy at the tills I go and assist them. At the end of the day I help get the store all ready for the next day’s work by tidying the shelves and sweeping throughout the store.

The Linen Line                                                             June 2014 – Aug 2014
I worked in a small shop helping to serve customers on the shop floor and till. I would be left to manage the shop while my colleagues where sorting through the delivery. Assist customers in finding what they required. Make orders for customers who found their items were not in stock.

Café – The Anchor café                                               April 2014 – June 2014
I worked in a local Café. I would take customer orders and hand it to the kitchen, I made hot and cold drinks using the different types of machines, I would also serve slush puppies and ice-cream from the machine and scoop. Once the food is ready I would take it to the customer. I was fully trained on the tills. Throughout the day I would wash and wipe up, clean down the tables and chairs, make sure the café was clean and tidy at all times.

Paper Delivery - Great Yarmouth                              June 2013 - to date
On a weekly basis I distribute the local free newspaper to just over 200 residential properties.

QD Stores - Gorleston                                                  Nov 2013 - Dec 2013
I worked as Christmas temp. My duties involved serving customers on the tills, maintaining a clean and tidy till area at all times. Tidying the store and making sure that everything was in the correct place so customers could find what they needed.

Hobbies
I enjoy going bowling and going to the cinema with friends and with my family, I have a keen interest in photography and am always keen to explore different cameras and processes. I also like to make my own animation using Photoshop and Premier Pro software. In my free time I go to different locations in order to capture various images of peaceful destinations. In addition to this I use some of my free time to watch movies, and when I do I am always analysing them and seeing how I might have done some of the production differently to the original one.

  1. Jade,

    You have a clear career trajectory and know what you want to do which helps this task. You have produced solid career development material and you have included relevant information in your CV. it would be nice to see a more creative CV since you are such a creative person but the content in it is good.
