My name is Mike Cook and I am 19 years old. I’ve worked for UFindUs for nearly 18 months. I began my time with the company as a salesman, selling Premium Design websites to existing customers. After a month I found that the job wasn’t for me, and I was offered a transfer to Premium Design admin to replace someone who had been promoted.
I found that the web designers I was working with were much more my type of people and enjoyed the job much more. After doing administration work for about 10 months, I managed to pick up some basic web design skills, so after a couple of designers moved jobs I started doing changes to existing websites. This was much more stimulating work and with higher targets and greater pressure to meet them, and I enjoyed it considerably more.
Eventually the demand for a new designer became greater, and I was given the opportunity to join the team of web designers in January 2007, something that could never have happened without my previous experience with the company.
I now work doing customer services for UFindUs Premium Design team, as the number of callback requests from customers was getting too much for our one man to cope with. I was naturally disappointed to be taken back off doing design work after such a short time, but I quickly realized that the reason I had been chosen was because of the experience I had with customers and the knowledge of the company I had gathered over the past year.
After working at UFindUs for 18 months I have learnt a wide range of skills, which have been reflected in the range of different jobs I have done for the department. I feel as though I’m part of the team, and better yet that the team would be compromised without me.
To quote Nicholas Cage: “I am not a demon. I am a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion.”
