Jack Rodea

I know a CV introduction can often sound like every other applicant's, but my journey so far has taught me that success isn't always about being the smartest person in the room. I've never considered myself the best at everything, but I've always believed that hard work, determination and a willingness to learn can take you a long way. I pride myself on the relationships I build with others, the effort I put into everything I do and my determination to keep pushing myself, even when things aren't easy.

Now studying BA (Hons) Business Management at Manchester Metropolitan University, I am looking to build on my experiences, develop my commercial awareness and apply my skills in a professional business environment. I bring a combination of strong communication, adaptability and a willingness to learn, with the ambition to make a positive contribution wherever I work.
