 Well organised- my time in the educational environment has taught me the importance of this and this is
a skill I carry throughout my day-to-day life
 Good communicator- previous jobs have allowed me to converse with a range of personalities, from the
very nervous to the more confident characters. I understand how to adapt myself in order to
communicate effectively with a range of different people.
 I am able to work under pressure and adapt to any situations that may arise unexpectedly.
 Team player- previous jobs have required that I work as part of a team in order to achieve the best
results. This has also taught me how to keep up staff morale.
 On the other hand, there were also times when my previous jobs needed me to work independently and
quickly on the spot.
