Personal statement
I am a hard working and reliable employee with a good work ethic. As I hope my C.V shows I have a good ability to adapt to any role and work as either part of a team or take responsibility as an individual.
Work experience
Since November 2015 I have been studying film production, and have just completed an introductory course with the BFI/NFTS/OU, and as a member of two drama groups have performed two short plays and two films, the last one nominated for a BAFTA. I am currently studying script writing with the BFI, but this is a activity that is also coordinated by the OU and done in my free time. I havealso just returned from a trip to south east Asia, having used this opportunity to travel a little, which is something I very much enjoy. But now it is time to put my shoulder back into work which is also something I very much enjoy.
