I have recently completed my English Literature degree at the University of York. Now based in Manchester, I am eager to find jobs in which I can apply the skills I have gained both in and outside of my studies. My degree has nuanced my writing, helping me to develop what is now an elegant and confident writing style. With that being said, I have a variety of experience creating content elsewhere. Through my involvement in student media at university, I quickly realised my love for writing online reviews and am now excited to push this even further into content creation. Although my exposure to content creation has been music based, the range of my studies have given me a lot of flexibility and transferable skills, particularly the ability to research in depth and create engaging content. While I have a distinct writing style, I am able to adapt my tone as required. Furthermore, I have had a variety of customer service jobs throughout university, which I balanced with my full time studies. Consequently, I am able to remain calm and organised in fast-paced environments, as well as completing multiple tasks efficiently and to a high standard.…I have recently completed my English Literature degree at the University of York.
