Work History
Beautician
My own business
Colchester, Essex
10.2023 - Current
- I started my own beauty business in the autumn last year, which was a challenging journey, yet it taught me how to handle my own finances, identify new opportunities, and deliver exceptional client service, which in the long term gained me loyal and regular clients.
- To ensure my business did not fail, I composed an income statement to track my expenses and revenue, which expanded my knowledge on financial statements, calculating important financial equations, which can be transferred into skills for future jobs.
- By running my own business, I also conducted extensive research on trends and developments in the beauty market to ensure I could offer the newest treatments, and compete with higher beauticians. This also helped me understand how to build a greater brand image through social media, where I started posting engaging photos of recent treatments, which expanded my clientele.
- Gained five new clients in a day due to my effective social media and content creation skills.
- Furthermore, I directed all aspects of business administration to ensure smooth functioning.
Administrator
John Alexander Estate Agency
Colchester, Essex
07.2023 - Current
- I provide essential support to John Alexander Estate Agency, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and effective client communication.
- Managed over 80 phone calls out to applicants in one day.
- Key responsibilities I handle are answering phone calls and emails, greeting clients, scheduling property viewings, and managing appointments for my colleagues, which has not only increased my confidence when communicating with new people but has also improved my time management, as well as my organisational and management skills, since I must balance keeping records, tracking details, and ensuring accuracy in documents, to help improve team coordination and productivity.
- In addition, I am responsible for creating and maintaining property listings, updating online portals, and preparing marketing materials to ensure our properties reach a wider audience, increase visibility, and generate leads, which will potentially result in the property being sold.
