One experience that highlights my ability to build strong relationships was when I worked on a group project for a business competition at my school. Our team had diverse ideas and perspectives, which initially led to disagreements. I took the initiative to foster collaboration by actively listening to everyone’s input, finding common ground, and ensuring each team member felt valued. By maintaining open communication and encouraging teamwork, we developed a strong strategy and successfully pitched our idea, ultimately winning second place in the competition. This experience reinforced my ability to build trust, facilitate teamwork, and create positive relationships—skills that I believe are essential for this internship.

I enjoy following creators who share insights on business, entrepreneurship, and personal development. For example, I follow Gary Vaynerchuk for his expertise in marketing and branding, Alex Hormozi for sales and business strategy, and Simon Sinek for leadership and communication. I also engage with content from business-focused YouTube channels like ‘The Financial Diet’ and ‘Ali Abdaal,’ which provide insights on financial literacy, productivity, and personal growth. Additionally, I follow case study-driven pages like Harvard Business Review and Morning Brew to stay updated on industry trends. These creators help me develop a well-rounded perspective on business, sales, and professional development, which I’m eager to apply in this internship.

Yes, I have experience in sales and account management. As an A-level student, I have been involved in various activities that have strengthened my skills in these areas. For example, I participated in a school business competition where my team developed and sold a product, requiring us to pitch to potential customers, negotiate prices, and manage orders. Additionally, I have worked part-time in retail, where I handled customer inquiries, promoted products, and assisted in closing sales. These experiences have helped me develop strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills. I enjoy interacting with customers, understanding their needs, and providing effective solutions. I'm excited to apply and further develop these skills in this internship.
