Recruit IT SolutionsRecruitment Consultant
Jun. 2010 - Nov. 2010Cape Town Area, South AfricaI decided to take a big step in the business world into recruitment. A lot of people have a great misconception about recruitment, It involves all aspects of the business world. I learnt so much about myself and the business world in a short time. My daily activities involved cold calling, negotiating, setting appointments with clients and potential candidates and referring qualified candidates to qualified leads. Recruiting includes marketing, sales, psychology, HR and being your own entrepreneur. I learnt a lot of skills that I can take with me into my future. Working in a great team made it really enjoyable too.
Soul Candi t/a The Bang Bang ClubMarketing/Booking Co-Ordinator
Nov. 2008 - Nov. 2009Cape Town Area, South AfricaWorking in the events/nightclub industry was definitely an experience worth remembering. I thrived working in events, using my creative abilities was definitely something I can put in my pocket. The amount of people I met in this industry who have influenced me is rewarding in its own right. I liaised with artists in the South African music industry daily and it opened up my network of contacts which I had already established. I was also the face of the brand and had to constantly come up with new fresh ideas to sell to the public. If given the opportunity I would like to expand my skills within corporate events and with the knowledge and skills I have gained, I know I could pursue this to my best ability. I am a peoples person by nature, the reward of making other people love what you do is something indescribable.
