My role is to place the perfect tenants in the perfect properties. Providing professional services to landlords and tenants. From giving landlords advice about the current market and advising tenants about references and what they will need to rent in London. I take part in every aspect of the process. From meeting landlords to taking photos and writing marketing material to meeting prospecting tenants for viewings. I negotiate for both tenants and landlords and do this face to face or on the phone on a daily basis. I also hold a clean UK driving license so I am able to drive from the office to any property. I have been praised for my work from both tenants, landlord and management for my professional and friendly manner. I try to make the process of renting in London as easy and stress-free as possible for both parties to make the transaction run as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

Lettings Manager

After my time in Thailand I was granted the opportunity to work for the same SuperSpar store where I had worked previously for many years. Due to my excellent reputation I was able to work during the time I had in South Africa whilst applying for my UK settlement visa. The new owner and I have a great working relationship and he intrusted me with all my previous responsibilities from the moment I walked in and gave me the additional responsibility of training new managers. I worked long hours (14-12Hour Days) resolving stock problem I encountered in the store. I feel that the last year was a great addition to my retail work experience and I have gained even more valuable knowledge.Great staff and customer relations were built. The shop exceeded in an ever growing competitive retailing market and area. (LSM 9 group)

My role was to introduce and teach the English language to students who were 4-18 years of age. I had to organise my lessons into lesson plans and make my own resources to use in and out of the classroom. This proved my time management skills, progression in my independent working expertise and I was able to meet deadlines.I had a Thai teacher who worked for me as a translator and we worked as a team to manage behaviour and create fun activities to stimulate learning. I demonstrated my leadership skills, collaborated as part of a team and gained experience in public speaking. I had to assess the students’ progression and devise exams for them to complete every semester. I progressed in my long term planning abilities and I had to be organised and clear with my records and data analysis; I used Microsoft Excel to record my data. I identified the students’ strengths and weaknesses and created strategies to combat them.In my free time I trained the students’ who excelled in English for national competitions such as spelling bees, speech, scrabble and multi-skill. I used my initiative to help the Thai teachers train the students and I used my organisational skills to plan times and training techniques to suit each individual student.I also started my own club where students of all ages could come and learn magic tricks in their free time whilst only using English for communication. The students performed a magic show for the parents of the students in a huge school production.I took part in after school activities where I evaluated strengths and weaknesses of the Thai teachers and developed a training programme and co-ordinated training sessions accordingly.I also had 2 football teams, u10 and u13 boys that I coached to win two gold medals.

AYC Teaching Agency

English Teacher

After being a manager for over 10 years, I was very experienced and had many responsibilities. I had to supervise and train staff (including new general managers), making sure they worked to their full potential and were motivated at all times. This was achievable by keeping a good relationship with each member of staff and offering incentives. I also recorded their strengths and weaknesses and devised strategies to overcome these obstacles. I had to use my initiative and managerial skills to keep my team at its best. I also had to be energetic and influential to them team. During office hours I had to organise the accounts, stock control, loss prevention, merchandising, sales targets, and data control and handle money. To do this as individual tasks took years of rigorous training. It took determination and hard work for me to reach this level of management. I progressed in my independent working expertise.During the opening of a new store I was given the responsibility of choosing new product lines, pricing and accounts. I also set new sales targets for the new store. I had the responsibility of the entire liquor store all to myself.From opening and closing, Staff schedules, layout, merchandising, employing staff, paying my staff, working on deals for my customers, stock rotation, even the filing was one by me.All this while still having a hand in the main shop.The shop exceeded in an ever growing competitive retailing market and area.
