PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
I am a self-motivated worker who enjoys taking on new challenges. I have a strong work ethic and also take pride in every job I am presented with. Knowing some of my strengths such as my ability to work under pressure and being a good team worker gives me confidence. In such situation, I am able to use my empathic skills, such as how to acknowledge other people’s situations and also promote their rights. In addition, what I have learnt during my studies has enabled me to obtain a good knowledge of the psychological theories applied during practice and also the relevant legislations that guide my knowledge as a social worker.
I am looking for a role in the field of Adult Social Work were I can develop a strong sense of competence such as overcoming challenges and also improve my level of perseverance while facing difficulties at work.
