Summary
My previous work experience has helped me develop skills that directly link to being a Junior Production Coordinator. Working as event crew across the UK has taught me how to work under pressure, meet deadlines, communicate with different teams and adapt quickly when plans change. My lifeguard role has also developed my responsibility, attention to detail and ability to stay calm in challenging situations. Working at Christmas markets strengthened my customer service and teamwork skills. These experiences have made me reliable, organised and confident working in busy environments.
