Communication and dispute solving

I attended the Exploring Leadership Workshop held by UNSW Student Career
Service and gained a deeper understanding of workplace communications. I resolved
a dispute between my groupmates by applying communication skills. In doing a
group assignment, one of the group members came up with a new idea but not in line
with the original plan. He had a big argument with another group member and
claimed to quit. I talked to him and encouraged him to finish his idea as
supplementary to the whole project. As a result, our assignment was finished on time
and got 38 out of 40.

Initiative
This is the most common appraisal I’ve got from my previous employers. Worked as
a manual laborer in Woolworths Randwick, I was quickly authorized to assist the
store manager in doing storage management. According to my manager, the reason
was I showed initiative in the first 2 months, and he thought I became familiar with
the job very fast.
