In my third year I will be completing a year long industrial
placement. I amreally looking forward to this and hope to be placed
in a relatively large andwell known organisation. I am extremely
interested in the dynamics of themarketing function and working
with others. The thought of placement isexciting especially the
thought of learning at a fast pace. I would like to get as
much work experience as possible which will help prepare me for
the world offull-time employment and hopefully make me more
attractive to employers.I hope to achieve a 2:1 degree, which will
take a lot of hard work anddetermination.
Summary of employment:
June 2007- December 2010 Webbs of WychboldPosition: Restaurant
assistant
I began working when I was 16 at a local garden centre in the
restaurant
department. This was a learning curve for me, I picked up
different skillsquickly and was soon able to carry out a wide range
of roles within therestaurant such as serving food, making
speciality coffees, operating tills andmost importantly serving
customers. I was loyal to the company in many wayssuch as working
many shifts in additions to my normal scheduled ones. Thissummer I
worked all through the holiday right up until a few days before
Ireturned to university. During other university holidays I also
worked shifts. Iam very proud of my excellent timekeeping record at
Webbs.
This summer I approached the marketing department at Webbs to
see if therewere any opportunities for me to gain experience in the
area. I was offeredwork helping with promotions which I really
enjoyed.
One of the many skills I gained whilst working at Webbs was how
to copewhen under pressure. For example this summer when the
restaurant was verybusy, both staff and customers became agitated
due to additional andincreased waiting times for customers. This
resulted in all of the staff pullingtogether as a team and staying
calm so that customers could be served asquickly and as efficiently
as possible.
