WORK EXPERIENCE

This role is integral to the business. My main responsibility is keeping Tesco legal in their price increases and decreases. This role has bettered my time keeping skills and my ability to work under pressure, due to targets needing to be completed in a certain time limit to keep Tesco legal.

Tesco, Blackburn and Leeds Express — Customer Assistant

This job included working stock on the shop floor, and also working on the till in a direct customer service role. This role enhanced my verbal communication skills and the ability to keep my communication positive at all times. As well as my ability to be patient and calm in stressful situations.

Mellings Vegetarian, Whalley — Waitress

Waitressing in a vegetarian and vegan restaurant really developed my memory and multitasking abilities. Not only to remember and prepare orders, but to specifically remember important and unique dietary requirements of the customers, which was vital.

Teaching alone to a class of 20+ people increased my confidence massively. This role helped develop my leadership skills and my ability to plan ahead of time so my presentation in class was accurate and confidently delivered.

PROJECTS
‘I Can Carrot’ Intervention— Applied Psychology
I have recently work in a team work setting to create a hypothetical 12 month intervention to increase 4-8 year olds fruit and vegetable intake in primary schools. The intervention was a 10 minute pitch that had to include true causal factors of why children aren’t getting the correct intake and then develop a successful intervention to target these factors.
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation project and the module overall. It has made application of psychology to real life settings more understandable and made me even more passionate about my future career prospects. Our team had the highest score in the module with 74 (a first class mark).
Respect and Liking— Dissertation
I thoroughly enjoyed my third year dissertation project. Upon recruiting and testing over 48 participants as well as inputting and analysing their data using SPSS software, which developed my use of ANOVA’s and regression. This project really developed my time management and data analysis skills and earned me a good 2:1 mark.
