Task 1a.

Task 1a.

I've read through many versions of "Task 1a" today and I am still unsure as to wether I will be doing the right thing by just uploading my current CV , the way it is. However, hopefully I will get comments and helpful tips from you all as how to improve and I look forward to redrafting to expand on this task.


I have two CV's , one professional that I take with me to auditions and another for non perfomance jobs, that help pay those dreded bills!

So that is my Professional CV at the moment. I have only just graduated from Bodywork, so I'm hoping over the next few months my CV will look a little fuller . I'm thinking of putting up my other CV because i feel it is less structured and has more of a personal touch. It also shows a little bit more about my peronality than my profesional one. I think my Proffesional one is so structured because the people sat behind that daunting table while you audition , just want the details quick, they have 500 other people to see! So setting it out so simply makes it easy to find the details people may be looking for.

Amelia Jay Clarke

I'm a dedicated and hard working person with a good experience of working in leading brands with in retail  and with great customer service skills.I work very well as part of a team but also on my own and thrive in a challenging , friendly work environment. I posses excellent communication ,customer service and organisation skills. This summer I have just graduated Bodywork Performing Arts School in Cambridge and being a performer is my dream. I currently work at French Connection ,which I fully enjoy and the uniform is just one of the highlights from working for a high fashion brand.

 2008                                                   Laura Ashley

Working here was my first experience working for retail.I worked here for two weeks on work experience with Stanground Acadamy at the age of fifteen.Successfully developing my initial customer service and retail skills. I got along very well with all the staff and they allowed me to put items throug the till, which is normally not protocall for work experience. I maintained a high quality of cleaning standards and was offered a job at the end of my placement but sadly could not accept as I was only fifteen at the time.

2009-2010                                               Sinclairs of Stamford

My Grandmother worked for this company for many years and suggested I apply for a saturday job here. Working for this company required me to have a vast knowledge of the products ,as there were three floors on which we had stock, each item with it's own code. As a saturday girl I cleaned and polished all the china and pottery, adviced customers with gifts and fetched the correct boxes they came in. I was trusted with my own set of keys to the cabinets where all they expensive crystal and Royal Crown Derby were kept. I still keep in contact with the owner after all these years and I work at a stall at Burghley Horse Trials every septemeber. 

2010-2011                                                          LUSH

I applied here as a cristmas temp and had to go through vigarous interview stages. I was successful and proceeded to work until my contract terminated.I was really encouraged to push sales here and learnt how important it was to understand the product you are selling. If you don't have knowledge and a love of the product, why would people be obligied to buy from you? The team there were extremely friendly and I got along with them very easily, often participating in activities outside of work. Cleaning was a big part of my job as the floors and sides would get quite messy, demonstraiting all the bath bombs etc.

2011-2013                                                French Connection

This high end fashion store is very customer service orrientated and meeting targets is a must! Advising customers on clothes and accessories that go with their outfit, is my favorite thing to do. I have a vast product knowledge and sense of style and I enjoy participating in team games and training sessions. This job requires me to work on a one to one basis . However, I am not afraid to ask help from other team member , while happy to return the favour.

That is my general work CV, I can now tell from typing it out myself through my blog, it is definatly leaning towards only retail work.I have worked in a night club as a waitress but I did not enjoy it so dont feel the need to add it into my CV, as I will not be persuing night club work in the future. Comments and advice is very much appreciated.
