CV
Employment History
(Apr 2005 & ongoing)
Executive Designer & Developer/Owner
Newcastle upon Tyne (UK)I set-up and run a profitable web design company which specialises in website design and development for small businesses in the UK. This has enhanced my website design and development skills dramatically. The experience allowed me to see what the world of business is like and has improved my confidence and communication skills radically due to me being the representative and negotiator in all meeting with clients and suppliers. The venture also taught me crucial management skills as I was required to manage sub-contractors and meet strict deadlines.
(Oct 2003 to May 2007)
IT Support & Web Manager
Newcastle upon Tyne (UK)This helped me improve my practical computing abilities as it allowed me to be more hands on. It has enabled me to put all I have learned into practice and helped me to understand it on another level. I feel practical experience is the most critical aspect in learning about and becoming confident in computing. I had many responsibilities in this role which shows the confidence in my abilities that I managed to inspire from the 20 Partners.

I enjoy reading a wide range of literature, one of my largest interests being psychology. I am a keen artist and like painting and sketching. I also run a website I set-up for newly diagnosed young people with diabetes, which enables me to work closely and help people in a difficult time in their life (www.ukdiabetes.co.uk). Personal Qualities ▪ I have experience working with general public therefore have developed good communication skills and can work under pressure. ▪ I am accurate and pay attention to detail which was gained from running my own business and having to be responsible for all areas, including book keeping and marketing. ▪ I have trained many people in my department when I worked as a data input technician and it critical that I worked well within a team during this time. ▪ I find computing very interesting so it is relatively easy to become self motivated and perform the tasks that are expected of me to a high standard. ▪ Running my own business enabled me to gain many management skills so that I could keep the business running efficiently and was able to allocate work correctly and regulate my time efficiently. Personal Statement I am a friendly and self motivated individual who puts pride into their work. I have built up a wide range of computing as well as communicational skills and feel confident in putting them into practice. I have a lot of experience in both hardware and software but am aware there is still much to learn and I am very keen and willing to improve my knowledge. I believe the computing market is vast and constantly growing, due to this I strive to keep up to date with advances. |
