SKILLS
 I have a unique skill in that; I am really good with social media. This might sound like a
strange thing to post as a skill, but I feel it is important in that I know what people like and therefore
I get good responses from the things that I post. I would very easily be able to run the Twitter or
Facebook pages of a major corporation and turn it into a success. Many companies have these
pages, but nobody in the world takes note of them, because they aren’t managed properly. People
follow what I post and take note of it, this is a skill that I can easily bring to a corporation looking to
expand their market.
 I am very good on the computer. Amongst my peers, I am known as the king of the internet,
because I can do things that most people cannot do. From spending so much time on the internet,
I have taught myself how to code. I can code in various languages such as HTML/CSS and I have
a very basic knowledge of Java Script. I understand how a network is run and set up, and how to
apply these things particularly to what is needed for a specific job.
 Great understanding of Word and Excel. Most people claim to know how to use word and excel,
but they do not really know how to use it, they don’t use it to its fullest potential. I have that
understanding, and can do things on excel, that people don’t even know exist.
 I work well with other people.
 I am able to teach people.
 I am able to speak to thousands of people without being nervous. Public speaking is a strong skill
of mine.
 I am well spoken in English with a good understanding of Afrikaans.
 I communicate one on one well with people.
 I have a very good knowledge about current national and international affairs.
 Being well versed in the bible compels me to be extremely honest and trust worthy.
 Fine eye for detail
EDUCATION
Edgemead High School
Completed Matric in 2010 passed with a Bachelor Degree pass
Currently busy with an LLB degree in Law I am finished with my third year.
ANDREWBENJAMINRUSSELL
 I represented my school in many public events as a master of ceremonies
 I represented my school in the national Caltex current affairs competition where I lead my school to
be rated 18th
out of more than 100 schools.
EXPERIENCE
 As a child I started in the modeling industry: However due, to my High Schooling career I
had to take a break from the industry. In December of 2013, I went back into the industry, and
have found success. Currently I am signed with Agency, Original Cape Talent, with Wendy
Golding. Over the years I have had the privilege of working with many renowned Directors and
Producers
 Waiting Tables at Spur and Café Magnifico: During the year of 2012, I worked at two eating
establishments. I did my training at first at Café Magnifico at the beginning of 2012, working
there during their busiest time as a relief waitron. Once the holiday season was over, I went to
work at Alamo Spur in Tyger Valley. I worked there for most of the year, and then towards the
holiday period, Café Magnifico requested that I come back and work for them during the holiday
season again. This has taught me to work under extreme pressure, as being a waitron during
the busiest times of the year takes a lot from you. You need to have a good eye for service and
a good memory.
 Mystery Shopping KFC: During the year of 2013, I worked as a mystery shopper for KFC, I
was visiting over 25 stores per month. This Experience had taught me to have a fine eye for
detail and service.
HOBBIES
 I love sport. I am a huge Protea supporter, I never miss a cricket game, and attend Newlands
every chance I get. I also watch the springboks play. I enjoy watching English Football and am a
Chelsea supporter.
 I play Cricket and Soccer on a regular basis. I open the batting for my team, and play goal
keeper for my football side, which includes action 5 a side football and full 11 a side football.
 I enjoy cooking, I consider this my talent, and can cook almost anything, without the need
for looking in a recipe book.
 I enjoy reading, but I do not read story books, I read a lot of scientific things. I like to keep
up with the latest technical news.
 I enjoy critiquing, classic movies and television series. I do not watch mainstream movies. I
enjoy a cultural film that makes me think.

CONCLUSION
Establishments are looking for a well-rounded person. Nobody can be better-rounded than I am, as I
have had the opportunity to experience many things in my short life and have more life experience than
most people my age. Where ever I go I will be an asset to that establishment. I believe in moving
forward with the times, making use of every single facet of technology to make things easier and more
efficiently run. That is why I never stop learning, about advancements in the world; I am always looking
for a way to get something done more efficiently and quicker. I am all about being paperless. Every day
I am learning new things because I am always expanding my mind and reading. I believe that having
someone who is always willing to learn, and that uses learning as a hobby will be an asset to anyone.
Knowledge is power, and I hope to be powerful in my knowledge.
