We’re delighted to welcome Jing and Zoe as our two new members of staff at OxFizz. It’s an exciting moment for us as we are doubling size of the team. Jing and Zoe will be joining Hannah and Jamie, and will be based at our offices near Liverpool Street.

To let you get to know them they’ve each penned a quick note below…

Hello! I’m Jing and I’m the Recruitment and Training Coordinator for Oxbridge Interviews. My role will be to recruit, train and act as a support for our volunteer interviewers. Oxbridge Interviews is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a dynamic and growing social enterprise, and I look forward to welcoming you onto our volunteers’ team!

More about Jing…

During her undergraduate degree, Jing helped found the University of Cambridge Frontiers Society. Frontiers was set up to bring light to the importance of personal transferable skills, and they hosted workshops with university and sixth form students. Since graduating from Economics in 2006, Jing spent a few months working in a jewellery boutique in Knightsbridge, London. Deciding that she wanted to pursue a career in the third sector, she went on to study for an MA in Social Anthropology of Development (2007/8), and an MSc in Development Studies (2008/9) at the School of Oriental and African Studies. During the summer of 2009, Jing interned at the Gender and Development department at the United Nations Research Institute in Social Development (UNRISD) in Geneva. She is very excited to be joining the Oxbridge Interviews team and getting back to her social enterprise roots! During her free time she likes to cook and bake, and has a particular weakness for pub quizzes!

We’re also delighted to have Zoe on our team as our first ever Customer Services Coordinator. Read more about Zoe below…

Zoe grew up in Reading where she gained her first experience in the voluntary sector working with Contact Centres UK, before spending a gap year teaching English with various schools and charities in Vietnam. Whilst reading Modern History at Oxford, Zoe worked with the development of a new student charity, FELLOW, offering free English language lessons to migrant workers in Oxford. Zoe has also been involved with community organising, interning with London Citizens in 2009. With experience of widening participation schemes in Oxford and as a student helper on interview weeks, Zoe is excited to be developing this year’s interview season with Oxbridge Interviews, as well as learning more about OxFizz.
