uring my time at King’s College I have employed a variety of different research methods, and am familiar with analytical applications of spreadsheets.For example, for my recent dissertation; I used Excel to compare the effects of tax increases on alcohol and tobacco consumption. In addition when I was working at the Williton branch of costcutter over the summer, I presented suggestions for improving the layout of the store to the regional management team. They decided to put these ideas into effect and sales rose by 7% over the autumn quarter.
