For this workshop, we were encouraged to step outside of our comfort zone and tap into the foundations of our personality
We were provided with guidance on how to assess ourselves and where our key attributes lie. I found this difficult as it's something i rarely do and struggle to look at myself a bit deeper. I learnt that enthusiasm is something I thoroughly like to push with myself and that this stems from any creative stimulation.

This course gave me an overview of each creative cloud application. Previously i was only knowledgable in Photoshop and Indesign, i now feel inspired to learn more about other apps such as Adobe Dimension. This could be used to mock up products for campaigns which really excited me.

This week I completed some LinkedIn Learning courses. This Adobe Creative Cloud course was amazing at covering so much information on each application without being too overwhelming. I already have experience in Photoshop and indesign however it was extremely useful to see and learn more about other apps. Adobe Dimension was one that stood out for me and instantly made me think of previous projects and how it could have been very useful. I now plan on using more adobe programmes.

Completing the assessment centre was extremely resourceful as much as it was nerve racking i feel a lot more confident on where my strengths and weaknesses lie in terms of interviews, group dynamics and presenting. One comment in my feedback highlighted the lack of eye contact and hand gestures but more of wandering eyes and fiddly hands. This is something i thought i struggled with also.

This week i have come to the decision to stop searching for a placement year. This decision has taken a lot of thought and time however since seeing the graduate kick start schemes as well as short internships that keep popping up on my research i feel inspired to go down this route instead. I now plan to take up a summer internship preferably in the studio environment.

I used the Starr method in my application form which really helped give some framework to my answers and ideas. Thankfully i have experience in retail and hospitality which helped massively in thinking of examples to refer to for the questions. Procrastination was my biggest threat for this part as i continued to put it off however once i began i found it much easier.

Q1

I was working as a sales associate in Urban Outfitters where a lady approached me asking for advice on what to buy her granddaughter for her birthday, she explained she hadn't shopped here before, but her granddaughter loved it. I found it hard to give advice when I couldn't see or speak to the girl, I knew I had to speak to the lady for some time to really understand more about what she might like, so I did. Firstly, I told her about the ranges we sold, Jewellery, Shoes, Clothes, Vinyl, and Homeware She then told me what areas she'd like, and I proceeded to take her around the shop suggesting options she could go for. The lady then picked a Jacket she thought would be perfect and was extremely satisfied with her choice She thanked me multiple times and left the shop smiling. Through this interaction, I learnt that being casual and friendly was the most efficient way to help in this scenario and made the lady feel relaxed and confident in her decision Next time, I would try to approach the lady first instead of waiting for her to approach me.

Q2

I had just begun my new part-time job as a sales associate in June alongside the final project of my first year which required a lot of time and dedication to produce a practical and written outcome. I quickly realised that my new job wanted me to work more hours than I could fit around the project and so I became wary of falling behind. I found it hard to say no to more hours as I wanted to give a good impression. I decided to take action on the situation otherwise I'd be regretful for not prioritising university. I explained my worries to my manager and expressed how the next three weeks would be important, so I needed fewer hours and that after the three weeks I wanted to work more. I then focused on my project and my manager was understanding. I ended up being happy with the outcome of my project whilst balancing work well. In this situation, I learnt that being honest and realistic was most important. Next time, I'd reassure myself that my priorities come first, and a healthy balance is possible.

Q3

Working in retail has allowed me to grow in confidence and experience working under pressure as well as communication skills. Along with this my university course has pushed me to grow creatively and pushed me to believe in myself. This combination has encouraged me to define my areas in the industry, the main being second-hand, sustainability and upcycling. Depop is the Gen Z pioneer for second-hand fashion that provides the nostalgia that roots every trend today. I am a Depop shopper myself and have been for a while with many favourite accounts. I attended the Depop market at Hatch.
