I have advanced PowerPoint skills, which allow me to produce presentations in a variety of styles, from highly professional to colloquial, making use of pop-culture references as well as using industry specific terms and images. I've self-taught in this area, using my spare time to continue to build on skills and techniques available in PowerPoint to ensure that my presentations continue to be varied and interesting. I'm responsible for designing, producing, and presenting a variety of training modules to the in-house and overseas Customer Service teams, which includes completing multiple classroom and satellite training sessions with varying sizes of groups for multi-language teams. I have strong presenting techniques, and I'm able to adapt to a person’s individual needs while the goals for the group are maintained. I can react to unexpected changes, adjusting my methods and tactics to ensure the group remain engaged and interested in the presentation. I work hard to ensure the group are comfortable and are understanding the information provided.

London, United Kingdom As the Training Master I took over the Training Manager role temporarily during an interim period as the company hired for the Manager position. During this time, I successfully completed two week orientation ‘boot camps’ with groups of new staff, building on the material prepared by the previous Training Manager and added me own knowledge and experience to it.

During this time, I successfully completed two week orientation ‘boot camps’ with groups of new staff, building on the material prepared by the previous Training Manager and added me own knowledge and experience to it. Once the new Manager had been hired, I was then responsible to bringing them up to speed on the company's existing training levels and content, as well as the overall company culture and processes. I went through the current avaiable training materials with him, and we worked together to create new and better training packages for the different groups. As a Call Centre Agent, I was providing strong customer service to business clients, including troubleshooting by phone and email, and providing an in-person help service to local clients. When I moved into the training team, I was able to bring this experience with me to help me understand the best ways to train the Customer Service Agent teams.

I presented information on the available programmes, whilst creating fun and interactive sessions for the students and young adults who attended. During the presentations I sold treks across the USA and backpacking trips to Australia, as well as promoted a cultural exchange package. I've also presented Welcome Sessions during Recruitment Fairs to groups of 50, including potential participants and parents, providing information and guidance on getting hired for the summer. In the office, I managed accounts and dealt with invoices and payment tracking for participants, as well as tracked the interest of potential participants. I worked with a bespoke CRM system for data collection and manipulation. My role saw me liaising with overseas colleagues in Sydney and the USA on a regular basis, whilst organised individual flight quotes and airport transfers for participants to Australia. I created and implemented a system to make sure all customer website enquiries were answered quickly and thoroughly, and I was familiar with the important a variety of customer service focus areas, including phone etiquette, email construction, and in-person presentation.
