Eva Rose Adès CV
About
My infatuation with books can been compared to Augustus Gloop’s infatuation with chocolate. My work experience has provided me with excellent written and verbal communication skills, good time management, and the ability to produce a high standard of work amidst tight, ongoing deadlines. To feed my enthusiasm, I have started my own social media pages and book blog; I have attempted to stand out from the crowd by daring to be a bit different! I have improved on my technical design skills and pride myself on being extremely organised. Working in a broad spectrum of fields has provided me with the necessary knowledge and confidence to work towards my goals of working in the publishing industry.
