Personal Statement:

Work Experience:

 12^th – 26^th July 2009 worked at Abbotsbury Swannery.

August 2009 began working at Sea Chef Restaurant and takeaway.

My work experiences have all involved working with a team of mixed ages and races, e.g. at the swannery I was the youngest person their by about 6 years where as at the Sea Chef the majority of the team are within a close age range to my own.

Working well with the team has been essential to me to provide a good high standard expected of customers of my employments. As well as socialising well within the team to make work more enjoyable.

Main duties as a kitchen manager is to ensure everything is clean, tidy and stock is all filled ready for service, as well as making sure everything is switched off and cleaned appropriately within the kitchen at night.

Interests

Music

One of my favourite things is music which has come across a lot in previous projects I have worked on e.g. I created a music application to allow users remix their songs on GLbasic as well as inventing a concert event with unique logos created in illustrator for the event back in my first year of college.

One of my favourite things is attending festivals like ‘bestival’ with my friends when I can afford it and organise enough people to attend with me.

Sport

My favourite sport when I was growing up was to play football supporting Manchester united since I can remember, my favourite part of football is giving the other team a bit banter when we win, my least favourite is receiving banter from the lads when we lose. but as I got older I found myself drawn more towards tennis down at my local sports centre  where I met and played with a lot of new people and have since focused tennis more into my personal life because I enjoy the sport a lot.

Living Life

Probably my favourite part of life is going out to parties and out on nights with my friends for a good night every now and then as my dad always used to say ‘you only live once, so get out there and live’.

Gaming

Since about age five I have been interested in video games, ever since the original game boy design, graphical content and storyline have always been important to me in this field today I focus mainly on online gaming such as Xbox live and the features they allow you to use to compare games and communicate with friends via the technology.

My favourite types of games for online have been FPS games while strategy games like the age of empires series.

Other games like the Sim series have always been a big hit with me also.
