When I was in college I worked part time in my parents tutoring centre. I worked mostly as a teaching assistant teaching English and Maths. I was usually teaching children around secondary school but I would also have to deal with the parents. My time working there helped build my confidence as well as improve my communication skills as I would need to explain concepts to the students.

My work placement was a part of completing my computer science course in college and it took place over two weeks. I was able to gain some expertise using WordPress as well as experience working in a team. This placement gave me an opportunity to expand on my existing knowledge of web design as well as learn from other more experienced developers.

I worked part time as a cleaner for 2 days a week in my third year at university. This is a summary of my responsibilities which and duties I had to take care of.

• Responsible for all basic cleaning in and around the facilities.
• Cleaning floors and rooms; including dust mopping, damp mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, picking up larger objects off the floor, and spot cleaning glass and windows.
• Vacuum, empty bins and replace linens.
• Ensure all cleaning duties are completed per cleaning specifications
• Perform any additional duties around car parks as needed.
