Callan Lynch

Upon reviewing the role’s description, The opportunity to apply for the Graduate role at Reform UK piqued my interest. I have recently concluded my undergraduate studies, having received a Bachelor of Science (Honours) International Business Management with First Class Honours, and I am due to graduate with my masters in May 2025. I believe that my academic and professional experience -in Sales and Hospitality especially- are both reflective of a valuable candidate for the position, alongside a genuine interest for participating in a role that helps drive meaningful change;

Through working in several roles throughout my employment history, I have always maintained a position that at its core provides a useful and positive experience to customers. My current employment position as a Product Demonstrator, as well as subsequent roles in hospitality are reflective of my charismatic nature. I enjoy working as part of a team as well as being suited to independent working - having excellent time keeping and communication skills, with a particular attention to detail as a quick learner.

Although I have had no direct experience in politics, as a recent First Class Honours graduate in International Business Management with ongoing studies in Global Logistics Operations, I am keen to apply my analytical and communication skills to drive meaningful change through Reform UK's Graduate Programme. My diverse experience in customer-facing roles, combined with my academic background in international business and consultation projects, has equipped me with valuable perspectives on implementing practical solutions to complex challenges. To this end It would be an honour to work for a political movement I have invested a great deal of interest and support in these last few years. Having closely followed the Reform movement from the beginning, I hold a natural motivation towards working in any capacity that the role ensues.

My academic success at university along with my long standing employment with WDS are a testament to my committed and self driven attitude of which I will apply to expanding my capabilities within the role at Reform UK and willing to relocate for the opportunity. I hope my application is reflective of the criteria for an ideal candidate and therefore ask that you continue to read my CV and references (if requested), with a more detailed history of my professional and academic experience and responsibilities.
