Try to go

Communication
I think I am
very good at communicating. I am always good at talking my
way out of things and have been told on many occasions that
my charm has saved my hide.
Negotiation
As above,
I consider I am very good at negotiation and compromise.
Numerical
I really don’t
enjoy or am good at maths.
Technological
I love
computers. I am always surfing the net at home and also love
anything technological to do with cars. At the moment I am
looking for a sound system for my car.
Social
I am always
out with my friends, mainly my boys. I love going out
clubbing and do so most weekends. I’d die if I didn’t have a
social life.
Physical
I play
soccer for Juventus and like to keep fit. I try to get to
the gym at least twice a week.
Creative
I don’t mind
drawing at all. I like to design paintwork for cars. If I
didn’t have to earn a living I would do that as a career.
Leadership
I have
never really felt the need to be a leader in the past.
Although I was captain of my soccer team for a year or so,
but I didn’t feel like I needed to boss anyone around. If I
had to be put into a leadership position though, I think I’d
be pretty good at it.
Practical
I like to
receive instructions and then just go ahead and do it. I
kind of wing it and figure it out from there on.
Home duties
Mum does
all the housework, so all we really have to do is keep our
rooms clean. Some weekends I do the mowing for her… but
otherwise it is mum doing the cleaning.
I am pretty good on computers.
I am a
fairly good soccer player as well, I make the representative team
most years. All round I am a pretty good sportsperson.
As I said, I
am good at drawing and at mechanics as well, I am good at
problem-solving. When I see something that needs fixing I find a way
to do so.
Casual work:
I don’t actually have a job as such, although Dad pays me to help
him out at his garage some afternoons and weekends and during the
holidays. I get an allowance every week as well.
Work Experience: I did a weeks work experience at the
gym that I go to. I am not really interested in working at a gym,
but it was a good excuse to be able to use the equipment whenever I
wanted.
