Through this experience I have gained many life skills that I will continue to carry throughout my professional and personal life, which I’m eager to apply in any future endeavours.

Pizza Express Front of House, Newquay Cornwall

(June 2022 – September 2023)

From this experience I have been able to further develop myself in the working world, becoming a highly reliable member of the team. I actively sought out knowledge on the workplace and became a resource that new employees could turn to with confidence. Additionally, I gained confidence in managing tasks during busy periods and effectively organising workflow during chaotic hours.

Videographer Assistant

·       Assisting with the actual recording process, ensuring high-quality footage capture.

·       Providing support with equipment setup and maintenance, making sure all operations were smooth throughout the events.

·       Assisting in monitoring cameras and ensuring the positioning was ideal for capturing key moments.

·       Using basic composition techniques and other camera settings to enhance the quality of the footage.

Through this experience, I gained practical knowledge and skills in videography, including camera operation, equipment management, and attention to detail.

Steam Bar and Restaurant Front of House, Newquay Cornwall

(June 2021 – October 2021)

I have previously worked for the Steam Bar and Restaurant under the St Austell Brewery brand, working as a front of house member as seasonal work. Tasks I was expected to do are as follows:

From this I have learnt about many key aspects of being in the working world and how it functions, using determination to push through busy nights and working overtime if needed. I have learnt how to work as a team within high speed environments whilst also being able to hold my own when needed.

Math Tutor (solo endeavour)

(January 2021 – March 2021)
