|
Communication |
I do well in
my subjects where I have to role play. |
|
Negotiation |
My
Business teacher tells me I could talk my way through the
“pearly gates” if I had to. |
|
Numerical |
I can handle
numbers pretty well. I don’t know if I would need to in a
general office environment, but every skill helps. |
|
Technological |
I can find
my way around a computer as far as I need to. |
|
Social |
I am a very
social person. |
|
Physical |
I’m into
netball, but only as a social sport, really. I play
competition for school to make up the numbers. |
|
Creative |
Not really. |
|
Leadership |
I fight
for any injustice I see, so that could be seen as a
leadership quality. |
|
Practical |
I can do
things if I have to but I’d prefer not to get my hands
dirty. |
|
Home duties |
I help out
in the house because I like things to be kept nice and Mum
works really hard. |
None really outstanding. I’d say I was an average all rounder.
Casual work:
At Macca’s until I can get an office job
Work Experience: At the Department of Treasury for Business
Administration. That’s what gave me the idea to do a traineeship.
• None so far.
Your choice: office work/public service
Parent's expectation of you: Go to uni
