Administrative Assistant Data

Personal statement

I am a recent graduate who studied Theology at the University of Nottingham. I have strong analytical, organisational and problem solving skills. I have also developed my presentation skills during my degree and am able to present and explain complex ideas and concepts to an audience. Additionally, I am a conscientious worker with a great attention to detail, with self motivation and a desire to achieve.

I am also a reliable, punctual, polite and friendly person, who enjoys working with others and have an in-depth understanding of different cultures and traditions which I think gives me a sense of sensitivity when communicating with others. I am also a fast learner and I enjoy a challenge; I have a great deal initiative and incorporate this into all tasks I take part in.

Lastly, I have strong written and communicative skills and I have good IT skills with a strong interest in developing them further. I am interested in a career that provides graduate training in various departments within the company, giving me the opportunity to develop my full potential.
