and I work closely with a team of ten to create and run events and coordinate
classes.

team members, ensuring that the work is completed on time. All team projects have
achieved high grades.

role on our sixth form student executive and successful completion of the Gold
Duke of Edinburgh award.
• I have worked well as part of a team in all my job roles, using my communication
skills and willingness to collaborate to help teams work more effectively.

Organisation and Time Management
• I always manage my time well, which is evident in my balance of active participation
in university life, studies, part time work, and social life, whilst continuing to
achieve good grades.
• Alongside my studies, I organised a national dance competition that took place in
March 2017 and free after-school dance sessions for local primary schools and with
my ability to prioritise I never miss a deadline.

research, communication and organisation of NHS Expo 2016 in Manchester were
delivered on time for the September 2016 deadline.

Leadership
• Being the lead committee member for the LUU Modern Dance Society gives me
valuable experience in team dynamics, decision making, and leading a team by
example.
• During summer 2015 I managed a town centre café, leading a team and motivating
them to meet or exceed the required standards at all times.
• In group projects at university, I am often appointed team leader as I communicate
well with everyone. I listen to everyone’s opinions, but I am responsible for making
difficult decisions.

Communication and Interpersonal Skills

customer interaction and the use of social media and networking tools. It has also
given me confidence when dealing with difficult issues.

to develop good relationships with members, the committee, university staff, and

summer internship I received training in the use of WebEx which I have used
successfully to organise and support meetings.
• Geological fieldwork involves independent work where initiative is needed to
develop testable hypothesis and follow through with the required research.

beyond what is required, such as in my role as President and the planning of extra
events for the society.

society, work within a budget, arrange social events and hire professional teachers.
