George Anderson

Recent biology graduate from the University of Hull. Currently looking for professional work.

2023 – Present – Freelance Writing, including video script writing with material published on YouTube.

2021 - 2022 – Store Assistant at Aldi, Lichfield.

Key Skill in this employment:

Team working – Being flexible with how and when I worked to help the day run smoother, including taking on a leadership role with newer employees.

Thriving in a fast-paced environment – Aldi is famed for working at a high pace to maximise efficiency. I believe I can transfer this to any environment in which I can work, and I believe it would transfer to high-paced copywriting.

BSc Biology, University of Hull September 2018 – 2021 (Graduated 1st Class with Honours)

Key Skills in this degree: 

Research and Presentation skills – There were many opportunities to research new topics and then make presentations to my peers over the information I had found. I believe this would be key in a role like this.

Organisation – Working to multiple deadlines while achieving strong marks and prioritising certain tasks when more appropriate. In addition, starting to write regularly for pleasure outside of university whilst studying shows my strong organisation skills.

Communication – Good communication with my lecturers was needed to achieve the best marks, especially when in a Covid-restricted environment. Strong written communication is also a key aspect of scientific writing, such as with my final year project which achieved 77%.
