Rebecca's Profile
Experience Summary
I have recently graduated with a first class honours degree in Psychology. I am now looking for an events management or promotional position in which I can use my organisation, communication and creativity skills. I believe I would thrive in the events/marketing industry as I am very hardworking, confident, ambitious, sociable and enjoy team work. My dynamic, enthusiastic, helpful personality has often been commented upon. From the age of 16 I have wanted to work in this industry which is reflected in my choice of A-levels. Photography enhanced my ability to design and project an impression, Psychology increased my understanding of human behaviour, Performing Arts and travelling has built my confidence in addressing and dealing with groups of people.
I am a very organised person who has always worked to the best of my ability, gaining excellence and endeavour awards at school in recognition of this. As a result I believe I have gained the most from these experiences as possible. The position as Creative Director in a Young Enterprise company helped me develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Previous employers have described me as customer service orientated, and have commented on my ability to perform under pressure and work well leading as well as within a team.
I am a very hardworking individual and determined to succeed within this idustry. View

Whilst working at Sea Nightclub the theme for New Year was Masquerade Ball and so we had to dress up in costume.
Whilst volunteering as a 'Welcome Team' member at Northumbria University there were a number of theme nights where we had to dress up as different characters, e.g. smurfs, pimps and hoes etc.
Whilst in 6th form I volunteered to perform the part of a peasant on 'Medievil day', a day my school ran to teach year sevens about history, we had to remain in character as we walked around the castle.
