Customer Service at Telstra

February 2008 - September 2008

I spent a year travelling throughout Australia and Asia. Whilst in Australia I worked as a customer service agent for Telstra. They had recently issued a stock purchase option for existing stock holders and I worked in a call center dealing with queries regarding their options.

Marketing Executive at Arithon

February 2006 - 2007

I joined the company directly after completing my degree in business. I immediately wanted to gain experience in the area of marketing and began contacting companies offering to work for free. Arithon was a small company and my need for experience fitted well with their desire to expand. I wrote text for their new website, worked directly with a graphic designer to help design advertisements to be included in relevant publications. I created and distributed regular press releases. I put together presentations for exhibitions and potential clients. Part of my job was to monitor our company image on the internet, which included participation on forums and blog contributions.
