You've mastered your craft, finished university and have a great idea for a piece but you're not sure how to go about it? Kelly Forshaw co-founded Jack-All Productions 6 years ago and is coming to Hope to tell her story. Come along to The Grace Room (COR114) next week to hear how she built a company that works with clients like Widnes Vikings, Inchcape Mercedes-Benz and Queens Park Rangers
We had @theliverpoolschoolofenglish come in to our #SummerJobsFair last week to tell us what they're looking for in seasonal staff. Nina and Becky told us, "We’re looking for people who are willing to put themselves outside their comfort zone, people who are willing to work as a team, people who are enthusiastic and preferably hard working! It’s about our core values really." We asked about the benefits students would get working for them, "We offer a really competitive rate of pay, we’ve got a great support system in place so our centre management team are staff that have returned and progressed year after year. We’re very supportive at the Head Office and it also opens pathways to other roles that a student might not have thought that they want to get into"⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #summer #job #student #uni #work #working #teaching #international #school #liverpool #english #citycentre
David and Molly from @FGHSecurity came along to our #SummerJobsFair to dispell the stereotype of security companies. "We fight a really hard stereotype that people working in crowd management and events security are these 6’4 thugs when actually what we’re looking for is bright, articulate, people friendly people. Anyone who can work in Starbucks or a customer service based position is ideal for us nine times out of ten." They work with a lot of festivals over the summer, "What they want is really savvy people who are charismatic and can think on their feet, they want the best ambassadors and best brand representatives." We asked about the benefits students would get, "They get to have the time of their life attending lots of festivals over the course of the summer period. They’ll earn between £5,000 and £8,000 over the summer, it’s one of the highest paid student jobs you can go into. This type of work stands out on your CV as well because it gives you realistic life skills. Other employers say they’ll give you skills for life but this job changes people over time, it makes the confident in themselves" ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #security #job #summer #student #uni #fgh #northwest #festival #glastonbury #work #working
Laura & Becky from @AdventureDock in the Albert Dock popped in to our #SummerJobsFair last week. They told us what they were looking for in summer staff: "For us it’s about being personable and being really enthusiastic about working outdoors. It’s a great job working right in the city centre straight in the Albert Dock so anyone who’s interested in just having fun and being part of our team we’d be really interested to meet you." We asked what the benefits to students were and they said: "You’re going to get loads of customer service experience, we do in house training including first aid and there’s going to be a few courses around water rescue and those sorts of things. We’ll give you all sorts of fun life skills to use in your CV. We’re also part of a much larger company that’s UK based so we’ve got all sorts of jobs. If you’re interested in sports and the outdoors we’re the company to come and work for." ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #summer #job #water #dock #adventure #summerfun #work #working #student #uni #hope #sport #outdoor #liverpool #albertdock
