PERSONAL PROFILE

I am a hard working person who is self-motivated, organised and productive. I am capable of coping with

a great deal of responsibility, manage multiple tasks and complete them to a high standard before their

individual deadlines and I fully commit myself to any tasks I undertake. I can get along with people at all

levels and from all backgrounds and adjust my communication accordingly. I believe that these qualities

are vital to succeed in any task, whether it is related to academic studies or working as a professional.

WORK EXPERIENCE

2005 - Present: Smart Print (London NW10)

My responsibilities include; dealing with customers face to face, via email and also over the

phone, keeping a tidy workplace, managing accounts and paperwork, coordinating several

different machines to finish the majority of jobs running in the shop. I have gained skills in

printing from Digital Press and finishing jobs e.g. making of NCR pads, numbering, perforation,

collation, lamination, creasing & stitching

This has been a good experience for me as it has enabled me to plan multiple tasks and be able

to finish them to their individual deadlines. In addition to this, working here has improved my

practical skills and given me a greater understanding of the mechanics, apparatus and

technology required for efficiency

Throughout my time at Smart Print I have gained vital experience in planning tasks and achieving

goals, alongside the input and analysis of data for quality control and to constantly evaluate

performance. These experiences have enabled me to improve my time management skills as I

have maintained my achievements in my studies.

10/11/13 – Present: Banooda Aid Foundation (Fulham, London SW6)

Banooda Aid Foundation is a Tuition Centre catering for children from Reception Class up until

GCSE Level. The subjects taught are Mathematics, English and Science. I teach at this centre once

a week, providing the students with help and support with their homework as well as extra

studies. Working here requires great communication skills in order to effectively help the

students with their studies and to understand any difficulties they may have.

25/07/11 – Present: Royal Mail (West London)

My primary duties involve sorting letters and parcels but I also have to maintain a clean and tidy

working environment at all times to comply with Health & Safety Regulations

Once the sorting is complete I have to carry out deliveries either by foot or by van, whichever is

necessary for each delivery

This position requires a great deal of trust and honesty because it involves dealing with other

people’s mail, which includes confidential items such as bank details, personal items and letters

etc. It is of high importance to look after each and every letter and parcel and ensure it is

delivered to the correct address

20/06/11 – 20/06/13: Queen Mary University of London (London E1)

Whilst studying at university I held a Student Ambassador position, which I was specifically

chosen for. Mainly I had to help out on Open days and Taster Course days

My responsibilities included; greeting students at the start of the day, taking a register for

attendance, helping the Teaching Assistants set up tasks and activities for the day, helping them

pack up at the end of the day as well as supervising and helping students get on with their tasks

and activities

23/10/10 – 08/01/11: John Lewis (London W1)

I held a temporary part time role at John Lewis during the Christmas period. I was a stockroom

assistant, a member of the supply chain team

My responsibilities consisted of bringing out items from the stock rooms to fill up the shelves,

working alongside other colleagues to ensure the shelves on the shop floor are always full

Whilst on the shop floor filling up the shelves, frequently I willingly helped customers who

needed assistance on the shop floor

12/05/09 – 07/07/10: Cancer Research UK (West London UB6)

This was a part time role which I volunteered for whilst studying for my A Levels

My responsibilities were to sort out donations, price items and place them out on the shop front,

keep a clean work area at all times and to deal with customers needing any assistance

I enjoyed working for Cancer Research because I felt satisfaction in the fact that I was engaging

with a well-known charity and devoting my time to help others in need

30/06/08 – 04/07/08: BSS Associates (London W2)

This was a 1 week work experience scheme I had to do at BSS Associates, Registered Auditors &

Chartered Accountants after I finished my GCSEs

During this work experience I developed my skills in working with Microsoft Excel, inputting data

& analysing it. I also developed my communication skills when dealing with customers

SKILLS & ACHIEVEMENTS

I have achieved my Bronze & Silver in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. I have completed a first aid

training course with St Johns Ambulance as part of my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in

2005. I also did an introductory Police Course as part of my Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award, with

the metropolitan police in the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham in 2006. This involved a one

off weekend street cleaning project in the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham

I have held a clean full UK driving licence since April 2009

I have proved to myself that with desire, motivation and confidence I can effectively attempt

highly demanding tasks. It is with this mindset, during my GCSE course, I challenged myself and

succeeded in the Coast to Coast cycling expedition, cycling from Penrith to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

within 5 days. This is one of the best achievements I have; it was an immensely demanding task,

which I enjoyed very much and it required a great amount of effort and self-motivation

I have been on several camping expeditions in the Cadair Idris region of Wales, as part of my

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award; each expedition lasted for 3 days and 2 nights. On these expeditions

our group had to pre plan our own meals and our route

I have been involved in landscaping a garden which involved; removing overgrowth, laying paving

slabs, soiling, digging and sowing. I also have experience in painting & decorating. This

demonstrates inevitably important DIY skills

Throughout my A Levels I was also involved in the school community, helping at many events;

open evenings, managing a stall at World Food Day and raising funds for charity events within

the school. I was also voted prefect by my peers, a role which required good communication and

teamwork skills to work alongside the other prefects and under the Head Boy and Girl
