Communication Communication is no doubt one of my stronger points. I like expressing opinions and debating. I definitely hate the concept of sitting on the fence.
Negotiation I think that I am pretty good at negotiating. I have a way with words which allows the other person to feel like they are not losing out in the deal.
    
Numerical I am good at maths, don’t enjoy it all that much, but because I am good at it I find the classes really easy.
   
Technological I am pretty good at the basics with computers, otherwise not all that interested.   
Social Socially I think that I am pretty good fun. I am always invited out, I think because I make things interesting, but I love the company of others.
Physical I am fit and in good shape, but I don’t stress about working out or dieting.
   
Creative I consider myself pretty creative. You have to be to get into the line of work that I want to. I draw inspiration from all kinds of different places.
   
Leadership I don’t like being a sheep so I think that I kind of thrive in the leadership position.
   
Practical I love hands on stuff, that’s the best thing about fashion… you have an empty canvas and then so many different things that you can do to it to create a masterpiece.
   
Home duties I hate cleaning, but I have to do my fair share around the house. It’s heaps annoying though when my stepsisters leave because at 12 and 8 years old they always leave a mess and I am expected to clean up.
   



I am pretty good at anything artistic.

I consider myself a mean netball player and dancer.

I am pretty good at offering advice to anyone who needs it and I am a good listener as well, despite the fact that I like talking as well.

Casual work:
I work in retail, Stocks clothing. I love my job because I get discounts on the kinds of clothes that I love wearing. It is also pretty easy and gives me at least some fashion experience.

Work Experience:
I spent one weeks work experience at a pre-school which made me think that if in the case that things don’t go to plan, then I can do that. I also did a week in Sydney with a big label there. I found that invaluable and the people were the type that I would love to work with in the future.
