(COPY) - My last role
Here's an example of some copy I wrote for an internship I applied for. They wanted a blog post on my last role. Sadly I didn't get the internship. I hope however, you enjoy reading it.
My most recent role was working as a Brand Ambassador, for the Faculty of Technology at De Montfort University, along side the marketing team. My role was to help promote the faculty, using in my opinion, the strongest quality that can move an organisation forward... passion!
Being a successful brand ambassador meant using skills such as commitment, reliability and being friendly but professional, in the work place. These three skills are all part of passion.
Using passion, I was able to work as a team and promote the faculty on events such as open days. I performed guided tours around the faculty and delivered a presentation on student life, in front of an audience consisting of post 16 students and families. I was also given the chance to show my presentation to schools outside of University and in the Leicester area. One comment from an audience member I always remember was:
"You were helpful and covered all my questions
so I didn't have to ask any"
An example of my presentation slides can be found here:

Both these tasks involved showing passion by being outgoing and open when answering any questions. The same applied for when I helped in the telemarketing room, calling students who had put down the University as a choice. Below is a quote from a reference I was given by my manager.
As a brand ambassador, and a student, I had to work at least four hours a month. However, I worked more hours, which came through passion for the job and enabled me over the summer to have the opportunity to help on the Robotics Gifted and Talented School. An opportunity the best ambassadors are given.

"Working alongside the Faculty marketing team on several projects. Mike approached each task professionally with confidence and creativity"
- Emma Ward - Marketing Manager at De Montfort UniversityEmma mentions professionalism and confidence. It was working professionally as a Brand Ambassador, that helped me become more confident and opened up some of my creative skills to help other departments in promoting them and events.
As part of my volunteer experience, I produced a video for the Square Mile Department, which helps raise the importance of community activities. On this occasion, I was helped promote the Chinese Culture Exhibition 2013 by producing a promotional video. I chose to volunteer on this project because, not only do I have a passion for creativity, but I also enjoy experiencing different cultures, particularity those with different arts and history, as shown through this event. The video was put online and on social networks, which helped the event be successful.
“Both the Square Mile Manger and staff liked the video. It was successful as it attracted a lot of visitors to the
exhibition. Mike was very positive, has great communication and has lots of good ideas. It was really good experience to work
with him”
During my free time from my role as a brand ambassador, I showed interest in the arts through the Demon Theatre Society. As a passionate member, I took the effort in my spare time to produce another promotional video for the society's last show. It will also be used to raise awareness of the society during fresher's fairs and other events, to attract more members.- Echo Hau – Square Mile Representative
“Mike helped Demon Theatre Society greatly when he made/shot a promotional video for the society. He was helpful and responded well to criticism. He went above and beyond the call of duty to create a video that greatly helped Demon Theatre's efforts with advertising and raising awareness of the society and how it operates”
- Isabel Lamb – Demon Theatre Society Chair 2012-2013Overall, I have enjoyed showing passion in my last role, and hope my passion gets me further in my career.
