Alice Turner

I am occasionally called in to give tutorials and informal talks to students, and to assist on college trips to London Galleries and Museums.

I worked part time at the Rarewaves Warehouse whilst I was studying my degree in London. Rarewaves dispatches products to customers through Amazon and Ebay. My responsibilities included the correct packaging and labeling of products to be dispatched through the post worldwide and filing them so they were included in the right shipment. There were tight deadlines to be met in order to assure next day deliveries, and the working pressure was particularly heavy over the Christmas period.

I worked as a technician assistant at the University of Westminster Degree shows for two consecutive Summers. I learned how to use power tools and how to build partition walls, how to attach fittings and how to work closely within a small team. I assisted students with their individual requirements.

Seasonal job. Managed money and till, served and interacted with customers, cleaned.

I worked at farmers markets on weekends setting up a stall and selling skincare products. I had to manage money and interact with the public. I learned how to make potential customers feel at ease and how to sell.
