Whithorn,Dumfries and Galloway
Summary
I believe I am fit for this role due to my prior educational background in Psychology as well my work in the hospitality industry which is heavily dependant on communication and teamwork.
A vital piece of experience I believe adds to my suitability for the internship is my participation in a work experience with the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust where I was able to speak and learn from multiple psychologists in different fields and at different level of education. I was also able to listen and speak to a couple mental health patients who volunteered to talk to us regarding their experiences, which was a very insightful and thought provoking conversation.
Overall, I believe my current skills and background make me a suitable candidate for this internship and if I am found to be lacking in any area I am prepared to learn and improve.
