Personal statement

I would describe myself as a hardworking, reliable and confident individual. Whilst working in various environments I have gained excellent organisational skills and have planned a number of regular sessions, I also work well under pressure and I am able to use my own initiative on tasks alone.

I am an enthusiastic person who always seeks to do my utmost best in anything and everything i do. As a team leader I always aim to lead my team/group to victory and I can work exceptionally well individually. In my spare time I always attempt to give 100% in everything I do. I am a trust worthy person who is always keen on helping other people. I do not believe in limitations as by limiting myself

I cannot strive and achieve my optimum. I see myself as a highly organised and efficient individual, whose thorough and precise approach to projects has yielded excellent results. Recent achievements with my current employer include the implementation of an innovative new filing and indexing system.

Hobbies & Interests

I am involved in a local amateur dramatics society, where I volunteer as a lighting and sound technician. I have been involved with this society for three years and very much enjoy being part of the team. More recently, I assumed the role of Stage Manager for a two week production and relished the chance to take control of performances and react to a high-pressure environment.

I also participated and completed a 3 week team challenge which I think was a great experience for me as I gained a lot of interpersonal skills and enhanced my understanding on what it means to work in a team. I have received the jack petchey award for my voluntary services to the youth, working with year 4-6 children and also 12yr olds and above. I accumulated 100 hours of voluntary youth service undertaken in 2010. In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit by going to the gym and playing basketball and football, I also enjoy graphic designing as I feel it puts me in a creative space, I hope to in the future become an entrepreneur so I can let the world see my vision. I am a sociable person and get on with most people, this lends itself well to me being a team leader and participating in all activities.
