Self-starter DJ business

• Mar 2015 - Jan 2019

In 2015 I founded my own mobile DJ company operating under my name. This business started as a hobby, and through self-taught marketing became my own self-employed business for 3 years. I hired a professional for the logo design and signwriting initially, needing professional artwork, to begin with. After this was achieved I researched how to build a mobile-friendly website from scratch. I also taught myself how to market my website online using a combination of Google Adwords, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and online social media. In 2016 I realised that my annual bookings had tripled as a direct result of implementing effective online marketing. Show less

Professional driver

• Apr 2016 - Feb 2017

In this role I have been one of the first points-of-contact for many tourists arriving in New Zealand. The day of a shuttle driver is very rewarding with a great deal of responsibility. I held a government Passenger licence, allowing me to transport persons of the public nature for hire or reward. On the job, I have experience with filling out driver log books, stress limiting skills, and exceptional time management. I have gained excellent spacial awareness, operating a long van with trailer around NZ's largest city. A shuttle driver is for someone that enjoys driving, greeting and meeting with international tourists whilst exchanging in personal and cultural experiences. Show less
