CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)
ELIN SOLHOLT OLSEN **.**.** ***********@*******.*** 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!
