Communication I think that I am a pretty good communicator. Being into drama helps this though. I really enjoy speaking, in fact it’s difficult to shut me up.
   
Negotiation I get what I want most of the time so I guess that means I am pretty good at negotiating. I am a little bit stubborn when I think I am right.
    
Numerical Maths is not really my strong point and I don’t really enjoy doing it. It seems pretty pointless to me and fortunately I don’t really need it in the line of work I want to do.
   
Technological I am good on computers but anything else technical and I am really bad. It just doesn’t interest me.
   
Social I love socialising. I wouldn’t say that I am popular because I don’t really dress the way the other girls do or enjoy some of the same things. But I know most people around the school because I am friendly.
   
Physical I like stimulating physical activity. I don’t see the point in chasing a ball around a field or throwing things in hoops, but I do enjoy dancing and tennis as well.
   
Creative I consider myself more creative than anything else. With drama and dance keeping me busy I am always doing something creative. Mind you I couldn’t paint or draw to save my life.
   
Leadership I think that I am a good leader. That’s probably why I would like to get into a managerial position, so that I can tell people what to do. Not that I am bossy I just like being in a powerful position.
   
Practical This is the only way that I like to do things. I am much more a hands on person. I like to be in the mix of things.
   
Home duties Basically the only jobs I have to do at home is feed the cat, keep my room clean and occasionally wash up the dishes. Mum isn’t all that strict about keeping things spotless.
   



I think my talents are dancing, acting, making people feel welcome and being a creative thinker who looks outside the square.

Casual work:
I am currently working at Baker’s Delight, only on weekends and during school holidays though because I have too much going on during the week.

Work Experience:
I did one weeks work experience about a month ago at the Hyatt Hotel. It wasn’t doing exactly what I hoped I was doing. Most of the time I was just helping the ladies clean the rooms. Later in the week though I got to do things such as meeting and greeting guests and reception.
