Personal Profile
I am a 23 year old honest, hard working and ambitious commercial music graduate. I completed the
BA Commercial Music at the University of the West of Scotland last year. From November 2015,
I'm looking for any suitable opportunities to further develop my career in the music industry, while
working and travelling in Australia for a year. I am also an experienced bartender with excellent
customer sales experience and good money management skills. I enjoy working with both the
public and music industry leaders. I am an enthusiastic, self-starter: sociable, outgoing, comfortable
in all situations and confident in my own abilities. I have a full clean driving license.

Hayley Canon, CORD Worldwide:
"I worked with John at CORD when he did an internship with the company. John was proactive,
always asking everyone if he could help out. He wasn't one to sit back and twiddle his thumbs. He
took on a range of tasks from researching and writing blog posts, running errands, and creating
presentations in power point. He also managed a small project on my behalf, reaching out to and
briefing photographers for a shoot, taking quotes and answering their queries. It was great to have
an extra pair of hands. John has a lovely manner, is good humoured and very respectful. Had he not
have had plans to travel we would certainly liked to have kept him on."
