We are delighted to welcome Rhianna Parsons back for another summer of work experience with us. After proving herself as a valuable asset to the team last summer she will be embracing new responsibilities and challenges!
Her first job is to organise all our brochures and to let our clients and contacts know what we have available but also what we can source for them. There are so many resources available online, however, we still have a lot of clients that do not use the Internet and still rely on these printed brochures, so it’s a service we’re delighted to still be able to offer.
Rhianna commented:
Over the past year, there’s been lots of changes, among these, the incorporation of cutting-edge technology, including AI and a new travel app. These represents a new challenge and an exciting opportunity that I am keen to explore. Although it’s been less than a year, the team has also achieved so many new awards and accolades, and it’s one of my first jobs to document and showcase these, along with all our printed brochures!
Since my last placement, I have completed my first year of Sixth Form, where I am currently studying Double Business Studies. Recently, I wrapped up my mocks and am now gearing up for my final year. Returning to Gilly Bachelor Travel Expert offers a perfect platform to apply the theoretical knowledge I’ve gained in school to real-world scenarios. Last summer, I learned so much from organising events and tackling new tasks, and this experience has been invaluable in my academic journey. Hosting events within college has also sharpened my organisational and management skills, making me even more prepared to contribute effectively this summer.
This year, my focus will primarily be on social media and content creation along with Adam Beeken, as together we will be launching the business on TikTok. I will be responsible for crafting compelling content that can be used both now and in the future. This role not only allows me to flex my creative muscles but also aligns perfectly with my academic pursuits. By integrating digital marketing strategies learned in class with hands-on experience from my placement, I hope to contribute to the company’s already impressive online presence.
This is an invaluable opportunity to grow professionally, acquire new skills, and enhance my CV. Working with an award-winning team allows me to learn from the best, apply my academic knowledge in a practical setting, and build a robust network of industry professionals. Additionally, the chance to take on new challenges, like navigating AI technology, broadens my skill set and prepares me for future career opportunities.
Conversely, my presence can also bring significant advantages to the team. As a young, tech-savvy individual, I bring a fresh perspective on social media trends and digital marketing strategies. My academic background in business studies equips me with a strong foundation in marketing principles, event management, and organisational behaviour, which can be directly applied to the tasks at hand. Moreover, my familiarity with the company’s culture and operations means I can hit the ground running, contributing effectively from day one.
In conclusion, this summer promises to be a period of mutual growth and benefit. I am excited to embrace the new challenges and responsibilities that await me. Here’s to another summer of learning, contributing, and celebrating successes together!
