Work history

Dog sitting

Neighbour
London
09.2024 - 09.2024
  • Provided companionship for dog whilst owner was away, ensuring it didn't feel lonely or anxious.
  • Developed trust and positive rapport with the dog to ensure comfort during owner's absence.
  • Understood and carried out special requests and conditions for the owner's dog, showing that I am responsible and reliable. For example, taking the dog on walks according to when the owner advised and feeding it at the times mentioned.


Helped out at Parents' Evening

Ark BDA
London
12.2023 - 01.2024
  • Helped out at Parents' Evening for year 13 and year 10 students.
  • Welcomed the students and parents warmly and signed them in using a checklist.
  • Also handed out leaflets to the parents with information about extracurricular activities. Consequently, this strengthened my social skills.

Helped out at sixth form open evening

Ark BDA
London
11.2023 - 11.2023
  • Advertised A-level subjects (Sociology and Psychology) to year 11 students which improved my communication skills.
  • Participated in fun activities with them in order to increase their interest in the subjects. For example, showing them the "Stroop test" which is a psychological experiment where you are required to say the colour of the word and not what the word actually says. This was an amusing experience as students often found themselves stating what the word says instead. This also built my social skills as a result.
  • Furthermore, I had to work with fellow students in my year group to effectively advertise these A-level subjects, showing that I can work well in a team.



Reading mentor

Ark BDA
London
02.2024 - 06.2024
  • Assisted year 7 students who were at a lower reading level and struggled to read through personalised tutoring sessions once a week.
  • Took turns reading with them in a group and encouraged them to carry on if they found a word difficult.
  • Regularly asked the students how they were finding these sessions to ensure that their needs were tended to.
  • I found this to be a very wholesome experience as I had the opportunity to help these children improve their reading and I also gained more communication skills as a result.

Charity shop volunteer

Mind Charity Shop
London
06.2023 - 08.2023
  • Maintained cleanliness and hygiene standards throughout the shop floor (e.g making sure to recycle waste).
  • Adhered to health and safety procedures, ensuring a safe environment for staff and customers alike.
  • Maintained clean, tidy storefronts for good first impressions and increased footfall. For example, picking up clothes that had fallen off racks and hanging them back up. I also had to regularly sort clothes in the rack based on size which required attention to detail.
  • Promoted charity's mission with enthusiasm and dedication as I was attentive to the needs of the customers.
  • Warmly greeted customers and conversed with them, thus building a rapport. This helped to enhance my communication skills.
