Employment History

2000 - 2004 - Spindles Health and Fitness - Operations Manager.

As Operations Manager I oversaw the everyday running of a busy city centre gymnasium. My duties included hiring and training staff, preparing staff rotas, ensuring that all health and safety procedures were followed and also very heavily involved in membership sales. During my time as Manager, gym membership had increased from around 1 300 members to a little under 2000.

2004 - 2006 - Merck Pharmaceuticals - Medical Sales Representative.

As a Medical Sales Representative, I promoted three pharmaceutical products within diabetes and cardiovascular disease areas. I would speak to a large variety of clients, ranging from local pharmacists and nurses to General Practitioners and Consultants in local hospitals. I would ensure that all clients knew exactly the positioning of the product, by this they all knew what type of patients were suitable for the various products. As part of my role, I would regularly give presentations about the pharmaceuticals in front of a whole host a clients and regularly in front of audiences around one hundred people strong. I would present my product and then answer any questions that were posed. In a company of 47 territories, I had been ranked at number 2 for sales versus performance, which was a vast improvement from number 42 when I started.

2007 - 2008 - Orange Telecommunications - Customer Services Representative

As a Customer Services Representative, I had to deal with any customer queries regarding their cellphone handset, upgrading clients, and dealing with any queries to the tariff or call charges. This was a challenging role as each call was very different and I had to use my interpersonal skills to resolve any issues that the customers may have. In customer service surveys, I averaged 91% and received numerous awards for my customer services and my score was considerably above the 67% company average.

2008 - 2009 - GnB English Academy - English Teacher

I have been teaching English since November 2008 and I teach across a variety of age groups - Kindergarten, Elementary and Middle School. There is a very big difference in ability of the children that I teach inherently through teaching pupils of a wide age range and I have to adapt my teaching style to each individual class. I generally start the day teaching ABC and I finish the day teaching English grammar or TOSEL essay writing. Every day and every class provides a different challenge, which I must be flexible to, so I can provide the best English teaching that I can possibly deliver.

Personal Statement

I would consider myself to be a confident, lively and likeable person with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Since graduating from university, I have held a variety of positions, all of which I have had to display excellent interpersonal skills. I have also had to develop and display the ability to interact with a wide variety of people. As a medical Sales Representative, I dealt with Medical Practice Nurses to Consultants and currently as an English Teacher I have to teach English to a wide variety of abilities and also commitment. I relish the challenge of dealing with different situations that changes not only from day to day, but hour to hour. I have loved my past ten months teaching and I am really looking forward to another year in a different situation. I feel that I am a popular member of staff and also highly liked among the pupils and the parents. I have been offered a contract extension and am the only native speaker to have been offered this in the four years the Hagwon has been in existence, which illustrates the impact that I have made in my current position.

In my free time, I like to go to the gym, cycle, run, hike and travel as much as possible. I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively around the world. I have visited many places across Europe, I have visited North America and Mexico and also been to several places in Asia (Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, and Taiwan).

I will be able to provide excellent references from my current employers.
