Skills and Strengths

Business Acumen The very nature of my degree and previous
employment has given me a good understanding in business, how
organisations work and competition within the market place. I have a keen
interest in keeping up to date with the world of business through the
Financial Times and other sources.

Communication Through verbal and written communication I believe

that Im clear and concise. I can adapt to situations in order to tailor my
message to different audiences whilst listening to the views of others. I
am a good listener.

Team Work I would describe myself as an effective team player whilst

still having the ability to take responsibility and delegate to others. This is
something that Ive become accustomed to in school/college sports teams
and whilst working in retail management. I strive to achieve positive
working relationships that help everyone to achieve goals and business
objectives.

Organisation: I maintained two part time jobs whilst at college as a full

time student. I can plan effectively, taking into account what needs to be
done and which deadlines there are, I use this to prioritise tasks
accordingly. I understand the importance of effective time management.

Motivation: Always trying my hardest to achieve my own personal goals,

and those which are required. Im the kind of person who will find a way
through when the going gets tough when others may choose to give up.
Life throws many challenges my way and I prefer to face them head on
rather than to avoid.

Experience: For my age (21) I believe that I have had more work
experience than most university graduates out there. I view this
experience as being highly valuable, duty management has thrown many
situations my which developed my skills in working under pressure and
not becoming too overwhelmed or stressed in a crisis. Line Management
has developed my people management skills and ability to be confident in
professional situations.

About Me
I am 21 years old, born on 04/07/94, grew up in Somerset and recently
moved to Southampton to study a degree. I am a sociable person and
enjoy being in the company of friends. I like meeting people and
experiencing new activities. I enjoy going keeping fit and healthy, I train at
the gym regularly and play football. I am friendly and approachable and
enjoy cooking.
