About Naomi and job interest
I am a keen linguist, coming up to finishing my degree in English Language and Linguistics. I find it fascinating how words (which we don't think about most of the time) have such a profound impact on people and shape the way we think. I'd love to be in roles where I can be creative with words and appeal to individual target audiences etc. I have a keen passion for travelling, and would love the opportunity to work abroad at some point in my life - travel journalism is something I think I would be well suited to. I have done much travelling in my life, including a gap year in Cape Town, South Africa. I am a dedicated and committed individual and throw myself into any opportunities I am given. I believe that I bring a lot to the table and work well with people.

Why Should We Hire You?
I am a dedicated and passionate person, with a keenness to get stuck in and become a valuable part of the team. My degree has given me an excellent depth and breadth of knowledge in English Language and Linguistics, which equips me perfectly in marketing/fundraising roles. I've also done a large amount of volunteering, including a 3-month internship with a charity as their Marketing and Communications Intern. Through this, I gained experience using a buffer, canva, Mailchimp and Squarespace, as well as attending a Digital Marketing conference. I have been working on an ad hoc basis for a small marketing business for the duration of my degree, writing press releases, proof reading copy etc. This has given me a good skill set and makes me an experienced graduate.
