I initially got involved as a favour to a friend helping to film a Football game, but I enjoyed it so much that I jumped in head first to become very involved. I quickly became elected Head of Operations on the Management board of the TV station where I process all of the legal and administration work, and I also act as a producer on various productions. I helped to organise a massive re-launch of the Station in March where over a thousand students attended. I am hoping to launch a new show of my own which would be something of a combination of Jamie Oliver, Delia Smith and Nigella Lawson as I am passionate about cooking, where I’ve honed my skills in GCSE and A-Level food technology as well as at home. Being involved with Rhubarb TV, I have really developed a knowledge of television production which I never had before, I have been able to widen my administration skills

Sales Assistant

Promote and sell home-made ice-cream Sweets and Confectionary Housekeeping Customer Relations Stock Check National Lottery Tobacco Newspaper sales I sought employment with the family run business because QD Stores could not offer me enough hours to provide enough wages to fund my participation in the Gold Duke of Edinburgh award. I really enjoyed working here and I was quite sad when I had to leave to start University. I worked on average 15 hours a week during term time but this increased significantly during school holidays. The shop is an old fashioned sweet shop and ice-cream parlour with its own factory producing its own handmade ice-cream. Working here my tasks included stock refill, weighing and packaging sweets to demand for customers from jars and in standard weights for shelving. I also worked in the ice-cream parlour serving ice-cream cornets, ice-cream sundaes, making and serving fresh hot waffles, various hot and cold beverages and banana splits to name a few, as well as serving customers the Lottery, tobacco and newspapers. In the latter months of my employment I was very lucky to be allowed to work in the factory and help make the Ice-cream, a job usually only reserved for the business owner and assistant manager so it was a real honour. I was able to implement my theoretical knowledge learnt in my food technology studies into a practical setting.
