Alternative CV – Chloe Roper

What was your favourite subject at school?
I loved History, and Media Studies, but I would probably settle on English Literature because the love is ongoing.

What was your best subject at school?
Media Studies.

What was your first-ever job?
Working as a Saturday girl in a Wedding Dress shop. Most girls dream job I am sure!

What was your worst ever job?
Honestly, I don’t think I have had any jobs I didn’t like for one reason or another. I had a Saturday job at WH Smith while I was at University which was the only one I didn’t really enjoy – it was an early shift doing the papers, which after a Friday night out at the University bar was never a fun wake up call.

What was the first music single you bought?
On tape, Aqua- Dr Jones. On CD, Semisonic – Secret Smile.

What is the most entrepreneurial thing you have ever done?
When my friend and I were about 14, we baked cakes every weekend to sell at our church on Sunday. We noticed those hungry adults in search of a sugar fix after a long service, half-heartedly munching on ‘Nice’ biscuits at coffee time and saw our market.

What is your motto in life?
Not sure I have one, but something often quoted over the last few years is “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” Also the genius of John Hughes “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

If you were allowed one dream perk what would it be?
To time travel. In the Tardis. With the Doctor.

What’s your favourite movie and why?
I love film, so this is always an impossible question, I can’t even nail down a top ten! Favourites include.. Lord of the Rings, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lars and the Real Girl, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Intouchables, It’s a Wonderful Life, Unforgiven, Groundhog Day, Rear Window … it goes on and on and I know I will beat myself up later for ones not mentioned!

If you could pick a celebrity to join the agency who would it be and why?
Victoria Coren-Mitchell. A great writer, creative, witty, and smart. I just want to be her friend.

What luxury would you have on your desert island?
A Kindle with Unlimited Wifi Access.

What animal best reflects your personality and why?
Difficult, but I will go with a Baby Deer. Big eyed, a bit skittish, but quite playful when comfortable.

If you could be anybody in the world (alive or dead) who would you be and why?
Audrey Hepburn, because she is perfection, or David Bowie because he is David Bowie.
