Bio
Roger Hawkins
I have worked with Tom across a number of disciplines within the marketing, communications, promotions and advertising fields. this was both a Uni and at my various jobs entrepreneurial roles since leaving teaching. Tom is a deep thinker, very well skilled in both effective social media maximisation and effective use and also more traditional media methods. Tom was a student of mine while I lectured at tertiary level and was one of just three students that I elected to stay in contact with to help him/and me, further our learning and increase our business effectiveness. Tom is both a top student and a person who "gets things done"in a work environment - I commend him to any astute employer looking for a "man of action"in the workforce. Roger Hawkins

Tom was a star student in my classes at Unitec Business School - specifically in Advertising and Promotions (Level 5) and Advertising Practice (level 7). Tom has outstanding communication, marketing and promotions skills and has completed his communications degree. As I know of Tom's skills, I have asked Tom to work with us at both Prevu Limited and subsequently www.toptalent.nz . Tom has assisted us with our social media programs, our market research and our customer connection and management processes. He has added significant value to our businesses and I commend Tom to anyone seeking to employ an enthusiastic, skilled and thoroughly amiable young man. RH

I have worked for Concentrix in the Air New Zealand call centre for three years, initially as a part-time consultant and for the past two years in a full time position. My customer service roles here included Domestic and Short Haul Reservations as well as Baggage Tracing.In addition to my customer service roles I have assisted the Training to Take-off programme (T2T) transitioning new advisors from a theoretical training environment to taking live calls. My time in the T2T role enabled me to step up to become a Training Assistant. The Training Assistant role enabled me to learn how to mentor new advisors, teach them to handle objections from customers, to coach them in the technical aspects of the job and to teach them the soft-skills needed to be effective agents.
