Staffing Assistant Fun Events

(June 2010 July 2010)

During this period my initial summer placement was specifically to provide HR assistance at
several large race meets throughout the events season. I worked as part of a small HR team that
provided support and assistance to approx 3,000 temporary staff. My main duties were to address
daily operational problems such as helping to locate employees that were in the wrong area,
organising uniforms and providing payroll assistance. In addition, I regularly undertook staff
searches and worked alongside the event-security to help prevent theft and other acts of
dishonesty on a daily basis.
I particularly enjoyed having to engage with so many people from different countries and origins.
Given I have been fortunate enough to live in other countries I believe this was a great help in my
dealing with specific situations during my time at Fun Events. Based on my personal experience I
feel I can adjust my behaviours to recognise and address some issues before they turn in to
problems.

(Oct 2007 Feb 2009)

I worked as a weekend Sales Assistant in The Card Co during a 17-month period and eventually

Company and gained various awards for applying the Customer Service principles that form part of
their employee training and development programme.
During my time working at The Card Co I gained a broad and beneficial experience of dealing with
members of the public and this certainly helped develop my understanding reference the
importance of good customer service. I also had good experience of till work and handling money
on a day-to-day basis.

Personal Interests
Having lived in Scotland, England and France I believe my communication skills and
understanding of different cultures have largely affected my own life, as a result, I am very
interested in learning about other cultures and nationalities.
I have always taken a keen interest in sports and in particular I enjoy running and compete in
informal races regularly.
