Welcome
This year I went from web development as a hobby to completing the IT Career Switch coding traineeship. This included a wide ranging number of courses and assessments involving the following:
In addition, I also completed two enormously enjoyable and rewarding full stack projects which are outlined below
Education
- MA in Politics and Mass Media
- BA Hons Politics, 2:1
- A Levels in English, History, Psychology and French
- 10 GCSEs, inc. English and Maths
Work Experience and Skills
Within my professional life I have always prided myself on a keen attention to detail, timely delivery, excellent communication and problem solving.
Within the public sector:
- I have been a caseworker across several departments. All stats were met and any sampled work was found to be correct
- I ran my team's continual improvement program, implementing several suggestions e.g. communicating with other teams to address and reduce common problems
- I liaised with software developers to ensure my team's particular requirements were met by a new case working system
- I designed a spreadsheet for my team to track cases and stats. It also produced the daily overview for management which had previously proved difficult to calculate
As a legal assistant:
- I drafted clear and concise correspondence for clients and solicitors, often to tight deadlines
- I booked counsel, prepared their briefs and helped update them before court hearings
As a supervisor within a leisure facility:
- I introduced new practices that ensured that the diner received an improved Food Standards Agency rating
- Whenever the facility hosted children's parties I kept all staff members aware of how things were progressing so that the food and games could be successfully coordinated. This reduced waiting time and increased customer satisfaction
