Communication
I’m doing a
double major in English and I also study Psychology
(Behavioural Science) so I think my communication skills are
pretty good.
Negotiation
I am a fairly
good negotiator. I am probably the only one in the family
who can calm my brother down when he is in one of his moods.
Numerical
I manage a
reasonable level of Maths, so I think I would say I am
fairly capable when it comes to numbers.
Technological
Computers are
not really my strong point.
Social
I am not
really a good mixer. With my brother being so unpredictable
mood wise I stopped asking any friends around and you tend
to get out of the loop. Also, I do like solitary activities.
Physical
I like to jog
and ride horses as often as I can so I am fairly fit.
Creative
I am good at
Art and Music. I love working with clay.
Leadership
Being a loner
doesn’t make me a good candidate for leadership.
Practical
I can do quite
a few practical based things- so I would say I am pretty
practical.
Home duties
Our house is
clean but there are often broken windows and kicked in
doors. I help Mum and Dad by keeping my stuff clean and
neat.
Art, Music, Horse riding
Casual work:
I work at the Music Store in the Mall. I get a discount on any
product so that is a real bonus.
Work Experience: I didn’t do work experience because I
couldn’t decide what to do then missed out entirely.

is.
