Additional Information
I have always had an interest in buying and selling products to customers. I always ensure my customers have a great customer service throughout their purchase from when they send payment to when they receive the product. I have an online business shop where I sell items. I have learnt many new skills from this. One of the biggest skills I have learnt from this was organisational skills. I had to ensure that I was organised and ensure that I had the correct equipment to put together parcels to send out to customers. I also help my father at his clothing factory to make wage slips and cash handle sales. I then make invoices and send them to customers from where they can pay to. By doing things like this it will help me in the future as the program I use to do this is SAGE and Invoice2Go. My hobbies and interests are going to the gym, playing cricket and going out with my friends. During the summer I participate in a cricket tournament, which takes place in Pleasington cricket ground on Sundays. This is something which I've been taking part in the past 2 years which I enjoy a lot. In my spare time I trade on the stock markets and currency's. I enjoy this as it gives me a bit of an adrenaline rush when you see the time ending and the movement of the rate is close to where you had opened the trade. It all depends on what time you had entered the trade and whether you chose the rate will go up or down. Specialists analyse this and then signals are sent out to people like me to execute the trade. Depending on this you should achieve a profit.
