    Hello. My name is Jamila Bagdadi and I have over 3 years of client management experience. Over the last one year I worked as the head of Corporate Communications where I was responsible for media relations, employee communication as well as e-marketing. This position has strengthened and enhanced my organizational and communication abilities. Prior to this, I was employed at an agency level, wherein I had an opportunity to work on various industry-specific clients which enabled me to widen my knowledge of all the PR tools that could be deployed. Besides I have also handled numerous press conferences, press meets, media tours and organised several interviews with media and analysts for senior management. I do several things well, but I am more skilled at communicating with a diverse group of people and organizing and presenting data. I am now interested in a communications position that would provide me adequate scope to prove my creative thinking, problem solving and decision making abilities to help an organization achieve its goals. Also, I am an enthusiastic team player with an appetite to learn on a day to-day basis expanding my domain knowledge base.
