Aaron Howard

I am a hardworking, reliable, and motivated person. I have some very particular skills, and I am always keen to learn new skills and develop the ones I already have. I am a polite and humble individual.

I do like to work on my own when suited, but I can work in a team very effectively. I would like to pursue my dream of pursuing a career in IT. This would be a great goal for me to try and achieve as I learn through my computing course, to later on apply these skills and use them later on in life.

(2023-08)

During my current time at Node4, I was an apprentice in which I passed. I have dealt with Network connectivity issues, Active Directory issues, taking initial triage calls and ticket notes, learned how to keep calm under pressure and how to manage multiple issues at once and how to effectively communicate to the team about the issue. I spent time documenting and making knowledge-based articles for my teams to help advise on how to fix the issues, which I can show based on requests – I like to take pride in my work.

Retail Staff - Home Bargains - Institute Lane, Alfreton DE55 7BQ

During my time at Home bargains I had used my previous skills from B&M Bargains to Home Bargains. What I learned from them, I brought to Home Bargains and used them. This included back stocking, how to stack shelves and refill them.

I also learned a new skill during my time at Home Bargains. I learned how to use a till and what to do in certain situations. My time there was short, but I learned so much, and it helped me understand a lot more about retail, allowing me to add it to my main knowledge of retail.
