Joshua Lancaster

A driven University of Birmingham graduate with a BA Hons in History and Political Science looking to begin a career in the ever-growing technology sector. My ability to quickly adapt, evolve and learn new skills will allow me to settle comfortably within the role and develop into a useful and productive member of the business. I look forwards to working and evolving as part of a team, to create an enjoyable, efficient and prosperous work environment. This will be the beginning of my professional career, and I am determined to do whatever is required to make it a success for both the company and myself.

• Travelled extensively around the world, ranging from Jerusalem to the likes of Rome, Sweden and Ecuador, providing a useful insight into cultural diversity and providing plenty of opportunities for problem solving and improving communication skills
• Lived in Ecuador for a month, during which I helped to build a school near Puerto Lopez, climbed Mount Chimborazo and travelled by river into the Amazon. These experiences allowed me to develop teamworking skills, the ability to react well under pressure and showed me the value of hard work in accomplishing goals.
• Scored in approximately the 95th percentile in RAF Aptitude Testing. When I previously attempted to be an officer, one of the steps is Aptitude Testing, to determine whether you had the skills and competency to perform certain roles. With a focus on things like perception, analysis, problem solving and multitasking, these results show that I can be relied upon to see a task through to completion.
