CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)

ELIN SOLHOLT OLSEN **.**.** acg1xr@r.postjobfree.com 078*-***-****

** *********** *****, ** ***, LONDON

Key qualifications:

I am Elin, 24, who started my venture for experience as an exchange student traveling

a year abroad to Ohio, USA, to partake as a graduate of Claymont High School. I developed

fluent English whilst enhancing my people skills and the ability to adapt and integrate in new

environments. I have worked since the age of sixteen and understand entirely the importance

of being a company’s representative.

Over several years in Norway, I volunteered and worked for local events and festivals

which gave me crucial experience with managing people, developing operational skillsets,

proactivity and embodying a customer service attitude whilst keeping a positive and

professional attitude. By attending meetings and completing a leadership seminar with

ROTARY, I have challenged my talents and connected with many inspirational people from

around the world.

I have recently completed a BA (Honors) degree in Events Management and Music

and Media Management at London Metropolitan University. An interest in international

communications, culture and politics has driven me to attend many meetings and seminars

linked to human rights and sustainability. I have dedicated my last 3 years working as a Bar

Supervisor at London’s infamous music venue KOKO, which has given me rich experience

into both bar/venue management and the live music & special/corporate events scene.

I believe my contribution to your company will spark mutual satisfaction and a loyal

relationship. My enthusiasm to work and gain industry experience will be of great value to

you and your team!
