CV
Interpersonal Skills
Having been in a university environment, I have gained knowledge on how to interact with people from various backgrounds and mindsets
In my present job, I work with doctors and students who are sometimes stressed and need reassurance. This job has made me be more aware of my tone and expression so that I can get the right message across
Writing Skills
Having written a thesis, I have become accustomed to different styles and opinions on writing
I have taken courses based on writing methods and research. This has meant the sharing and critiquing of work.
As a volunteer and intern I have had to create flyers and letters to generate interest
I constantly interact with people via letters and emails
Oral Communication Skills
As I mentioned, my job requires me to be in constant contact with others. I have learnt how to listen to varying ideas from different fields in order to create my own perspective
I coordinate certain meetings and projects and therefore have to lead and be able to effectively convey my ideas
Analytical Skills
My courses at university have given me a background in statistics and research methods
During the creation of my thesis, I was in charge of analysing the data to make sure we were presenting honest evidence
I had the honour of taking a project to a national convention, where I had to be able to present sums and figures to varying levels of knowledge
