Summary

I would describe myself as hardworking and resilient. I can adapt to any environment and use a wide range of different transferable skills such as critical thinking dependability and communication. This came in handy when I worked at a preschool for my work experience when I had to take on the responsibility for the children if they had injured themselves or are feeling sick, which did happen. I have also been able to adapt to my confidence skills being a person who is introverted. It hasn’t always been easy to ask for help or public speak, but this experience has taught me that being confident and asking helps you to learn, which is why I was able to thrive inside of the workplace I was in.

I like to do sports outside of school such as rounders, which overtime has helped with my team working skills and communication when passing the ball or when fielding together. I had experience at playhouse preschool, which is run by the manager Katie Hopkins. This experience was really an eye opener as to what life in the workplace was going to be like, knowing I need to be able to grow on the skills level which I have massively improved in that department. I had been working in the preschool for six hours for five days, and this experience made me see that I can adapt, and it made me feel like I can be more confident around strangers, especially when it's important to be. In this, I also took up a leadership role, meaning I had to be more critical with my thinking and make the decisions best for the workplace, which wasn’t very hard to overcome.
