To date the design work I have done has been page layout/articles and adverts (full page/half page) for the 'More to Life' and 'Home from Home' magazines. As this work is generally part time and is on a freelance basis this leaves me more time to pursue my dream career as a freelance graphic designer.

Lecturer in Graphics and Computer graphics on Btec National Diploma Graphic Design. Pastoral Tutor. Summary of duties: Organisation, design and dellivery of lessons for 1st & 2nd year students. Ensuring students motivated and encouraged at all times. Assisting students with university/finance forms. Regular assessment and written progres reviews/feedback. Evaluating own performance. Assisting with organisation of exhibitions, trips, interviews, enrolment. Pastoral care included one to one tutorial sessions. Reason for leaving, redundancy.

Following the Btec course I worked part time whilst my children were still in junior school, putting off going to university to do a degree. My duties included assisting customers with advertising and any other enquiries, administrative duties and cashing up.

My duties included liasing with Solicitors, building societies and insurance companies on behalf of clients. Book keeping and wages, customer care and general administrative duties. We also ran a building society agency on behalf of the Nationwide which enabled local customers to pay their mortgages, credit their accounts or withdraw cash. Cashing up. Reason for leaving, needed a change of direction in my working life - something creative, enrolled on a BTEC Graphics course which also enabled me to be at home during the school holidays for my two small children.

A job with more responsibility ie. booking jobs for the workmen, typing/shorthand, dealing with enquiries both over the phone and on reception. Reason for leaving, after 3 years the job became mundane and I was ready for a challenge - and more money!

My first job. My main role was junior receptionist, using the typing/shorthand skills I learnt at school. Assisting the estate agents in surveying properties, taking notes in shorthand. Reason for leaving, needed to earn more money and wanted more responsibility.
