Skills
Collaborative
problem solver and leadership | At the Entertainment Book I collaborated with my co-workers to organise 6 launch events collaborating and ensures everything ran smoothly. Retail requires collaboration with your peers particularly when it gets busy. In stressful situations I often find myself taking the lead to work through problems and de-escalate conflict.
Creative and enthusiastic | I am at my best when I am doing something creative and studying fashion in a creative based
hands-on environment such as Ara reinforced this. I care about what I do and how I do it; I want to do a great job and I work hard to do so.
Ambition and willingness to learn | I set myself high standards and thrive on challenging myself. I have a healthy ambition to succeed in whatever I do and am eager to learn and am able to quickly pick up skills. Studying fashion made me more driven as I realised this is not an easy industry.
Communication | At the Entertainment Book I communicated with my colleagues in order to stay on schedule and keep track of our stock. Similarly in retail you need to be able to communicate with your peers on a number of occasions to run the store efficiently.
Technical skills | I have skills in PAD
illustrator and excel which I learnt at Ara and during my internships. I am also proficient in using ontempo POS system.
