About me
I am a hardworking, enthusiastic and passionate marketing student in my final year of university after completing a 1 year placement as a marketing assistant.
The course I am studying is Advertising Management and Digital Communications at Bucks New University, based in High Wycombe and I am currently on target to obtain a first-class degree. The 1 year placement I took was with IQ Glass involved wide-ranging duties. These are explained in my CV.
As part of my skills and knowledge development, I chose to extend my course with a placement year to gain vital experience in the commercial industry. After my course finishes in May, I am looking to develop my knowledge and experience with an advertising agency.
I believe I have the necessary skills, qualities and behaviours that ad agencies would strive to find in their employees. I am extremely motivated, creative and organised, I excel in IT, and I’m a quick learner and driven by new challenges. I am a good communicator within team environments and have a ‘can do’ solution focussed attitude. I am reliable and responsible for every task I undertake and ensure all work is done ahead of schedule. My written and presentational skills have been polished to a high standard through my university work assignments and during my work placement with the content creation of nine websites at Texo Group.
