I am currently in my second year of completing a Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing

(07) 55 [Type
and Event Management at Griffith University on the Gold Coast and I am due to graduate at the
end of 2018.

This trimester I was fortunate enough to be undertaking a 12-week Internship with The Gold

308 638,
Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GOLDOC) as the Operational Trials and Readiness
Support Intern within the functional area, Press Operations. During my time in this role it has

been my main responsibility to develop scenarios for the Readiness Trials. These scenarios are

crucial to ensure communication is clear and situations are not escalated. Creating these
scenarios from scratch has enabled me to take a creative approach to this task to ensure
engagement is high throughout the trial. Essentially these scenarios aim to further develop the

communication skills of employees while preparing them with training for Games Time which is

fundamental for smooth operation.

I have been working alongside The Venue Press Operations Manager and The Venue Press
Manager assisting with many tasks. I have demonstrated initiative throughout this internship as
I have the ability to prioritise tasks when given multiple at once through coordinating detailed to
do lists. In order to ensure tasks have been completed adhering to deadlines I have been able
to successfully manage my time. Working within a professional environment has enabled me to
effectively practice my interpersonal and communication skills both written and oral. Through
attending meetings, I have further developed my analytical and problem solving skills as
problems have arisen 80% of the time whilst attending meetings.

Working within an efficient team environment has allowed me to further develop my teamwork
skills. In this organisation specifically I have found that it can be challenging at times but is very
rewarding.

One of my personal strengths that was confirmed throughout this experience is that I have a
high level of emotional intelligence, I am very self-aware of how situations make me feel and I
am able to read the people around me.

My time with The 2018 Commonwealth Games has enabled me to understand how complex
organisations work and operate and I have thoroughly enjoyed working in a professional work
environment. This enivornment allowed me to further develop personally and professionally.
I am more than capable of working independently as I do not have to rely on others, however I can also work in a
team as I understand gaining others opinions and knowledge is important.

I am an outgoing, positive and optimistic young lady who has cultured myself through travel and is constantly
striving to challenge myself both professionally and in my personal life. I am willing to adapt and complete any
required tasks to achieve results. I believe this role will allow me to implement my experience in order to understand
tasks well and allow me to expand on my knowledge gained from lectures and tutorials around Marketing and
Events.

I am someone who thrives in a supportive environment and I pride myself on taking personal responsibility for the
work I do. I conduct myself in a respectful and professional manner at all times in the workplace despite stressful or
challenging situations. I respect people who are open and honest as that is a very strong trait of mine. I am a very
reliable person who is consistent with my attitude, and am very mindful and accepting of cultural differences and
values.

I believe my biggest asset would have to be my ability to take accountability for the accurate completion of work
while adhering to deadlines. I commit energy and drive to see that goals and desired results are achieved and upon
completion self-evaluate my performance. I am a hardworking and organised person which allows me to
successfully maintain effective time management.

I possess personal drive, ambition and integrity and my employment within The 2018 Commonwealth Games
Corporation demonstrates this. I am someone who wants to take any opportunity there is to learn about my chosen
majors in order to give myself a competitive advantage over other university graduates. I believe that the qualities I
hold and my experience I have make me a candidate that would not only fit perfectly with this role available, but
succeed at it.

Sincerely,

Olivia Day
