Working for Bars & Dining alongside my full-time degree has been hugely beneficial for both my work experience and covering my living expenses. We work in various bars and restaurants across campus, all of which provide different but exciting challenges. I've been trained on the job, so for bar work learning how to change kegs and generally run a bar sometimes on my own became essential. Given my reliability and work ethic, I now work regularly in mainly two venues across campus.

This was my first job that I had during my A levels, I mostly worked as a waiter which massively improved my communication skills. In the 1879 suite, we had well over 100 in the room ordering food so time management and clear communication were two of the most important skills that I learned there.
