Basic First Aid

I am competent in various specialist computer software, having used I.T. in all areas of my education and work experience. These include the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft FrontPage, Lotus Ami Pro, Lotus Word Pro, Lotus Freelance Graphics, Lotus FastSite, Netscape 4.0, Soft Arc First Class Mail, Hotix and Windows 95.

Personal Statement

I believe I am an approachable person, who takes the feelings of others into consideration at all times. I follow my studies and work enthusiastically, and constantly seek a greater level of responsibility than my current role is able to offer. I appreciate the advantages of working in a team situation, but at the same time, am both willing and able to complete tasks individually as required. Through my participation in playing football, I believe I have demonstrated my commitment, motivation, and competitiveness, and my ability to work as part of a team. My work experience as a DJ has improved my organising and prioritising skills, whilst necessitating the effective management of time. As a cashier, I have reinforced skills such as teamwork, customer care, and problem solving. During my time in the Front Office at Novotel Sheffield, I believe I consolidated my ability to work as part of a team, as well as becoming more assertive and proactive, whilst becoming increasingly experienced in supervision. I believe that my experiences inside and outside of work have taught me valuable skills, on both a professional and a personal level, all of which I shall be able to make effective use of in any organisation.
