As a key part of my role as a sales assistant, I am required to serve customers, developing my communication and teamwork skills as I assist the general public as well as helping a team of my colleagues.
Furthermore, I am responsible for keeping stock of products both on the shop floor and in the storage facilities, developing my organisation skills as I must ensure all necessary tasks are completed neatly and in an orderly fashion.
As well as this, my time management skills are developed as I must balance my duties, ensuring that I have completed all of the relevant tasks to my position.
Dental Work Experience
The Courtyard Dental practice
Saffron Walden, Essex
07.2024

Year 10 Work Experience Placement
Wellcome Genome Campus
Hinxton
07.2022
I underwent a 3-day work experience placement at the Wellcome Genome Campus in July of 2022, during which I worked with researchers developing technology to combat the COVID-19 virus in a lab.
Furthermore, I was involved in admin tasks such as ensuring memberships to the on site gyms were paid on time and sitting in on research and development meetings, taking notes.
This aided in the development of my independence skills as I was required to think critically in order to select the information that I was writing down.
This includes a conference on patent law, providing me with greater insight into a range of adjacent industries.
School Librarian

During secondary school, I worked as a student librarian in my school library.
This position required communication and organisation skills as I had to document which books were taken from the library and which needed to be returned as well as needing to communicate with other students in order to ensure all books were returned within their loan period and students who were looking for certain books were assisted.
