About me
Hello!
My name is Hattie and I am a recent graduate from Falmouth University. While studying and achieving a 2:1 in my degree, I also managed to train and compete at the 2015 World Pilot Gig Rowing Championships. Now if that's not hardworking, I don't know what is! (Okay I could have got a first, but we can't all be perfect all of the time...)
Being a recent graduate, I didn't realise how much of a bubble university could be until I left. Who would have thought, three lovely years floating merrily in happiness and joy, could be so rudely popped upon being handed a fancy piece of paper and chocolate coin by Dawn French
Job Applications.
The whole being formal thing - it's quite contradictory really - especially considering that at uni we are taught to 'stand out from the crowd' and 'make your CV yours' etc. Yet when I was trying to be a little witty in once recent job application, my mum shot down any essence of personality and light-heartedness immediately, just like a lead balloon.
So Hattie, we know you're a graduate but what're you up to now
One of my most recent positions, a Social Media and Lifestyle Writer Intern for a start-up fashion magazine, was unfortunately cut short through no fault of my own. Before the scheme was cancelled, I really enjoyed working on SEO optimisation, scheduling blog posts, creating content for their newly released eCommerce shop and of course, being in control of the company's social media campaigns.
Fortunately for now I have found myself a new placement as a copywriter for a PR recruitment agency. This gives me the valuable opportunity to exercise and expand my writing skills by responding to briefs on a regular basis.
So now I'm back, back on the job application scene. Aside from working in a play school one morning a week (hey a girl's gotta have money coming in from somewhere!) my schedule is flexible and free. I am eager to begin carving a career for myself in the Creative fields. I am excited by the idea of creating fresh, new and innovative content again and I am thrilled by the prospect of uniting my passions for both creativity and writing. I am able to take on this position immediately and have the fortitude and creative passion to ensure I excel.
So on the off chance that, whilst reading my *interesting* cover letter and more traditional CV, your cheeks begin to warm, your face relaxes into a grin and your teeth suddenly emerge from the darkness of that stern, serious, employer-type mouth of yours... Then maybe, just maybe you could give me the chance to show you, first hand, how amazingly active, i
