Personal Statement

My three main strengths are working well as part as a team being a good team player, being organised and having the ability to plan ahead and having excellent research skills. I want to start my career in Fashion buying, marketing and advertising, therefore these skills will help me significantly in that career. An example of were I have had to work as part as a team was during a live project for Seen Magazine, we had to design and make a extreme garment from magazine pages in two days. My role at the start was to try and come up with different ways of manipulating the paper into different shapes and forms that we could use as a starting point to make the dress. I decided that making various sizes of paper fans would work well in order to create a extreme dress. As a team we all starting making various fans, then we all worked together to esabele the dress. I provided good listen skills for anyone in the team and voiced my own opinions effectively. Each person in the team had a significant role, therefore are planning and organizational skills allowed us to finish the dress on time and win the competition.

I am experienced in using the adobe packages, such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Unfortunately I feel that my layout and typography skills could do with improving. This would then help me in the future if I went into a career in advertising. I have done some work experience with Kirsty Doyle, were I did allot of graphic design, which involved allot of layout ideas and typography. I designed allot of newsletters and magazine pages, use of typography, campaigns and general advertising. Each week I found myself getting better at layout and understanding typography more; Kirsty herself could see an improvement in my work. Therefore I will carry on doing my work experience and then I will hopefully I will carry on getting better and better at what I feel is my weakness.

I am a very friendly and

    According to the Clifton StrengthsQuest assessment my top five themes are: Responsibility, Achiever, Learner, Focus, and Connectedness (Gallup, 2017). I’ve always been able to identify with the Learner theme. The Learner theme describes the energy and excitement in growing from inability to proficiency, as the most exciting thing about starting a project. Sometimes, when learning is the objective, it barely matters the actual venture or end goal, it is about the development. I’ve often used the idiom; “A jack of all trades, a master of none”, to define my deep desire to absorb all types of skills and material.…

    After a lot of introspective thought, my three biggest obstacles are my typing skills, time management, and my ability to read and spell. To begin with, my typing skills are limited to hunt and peck. While I have purchased software to help me learn, it will not happen overnight. My limited typing skills make the timed portions of my classes nearly, if not completely, impossible. For my career, this will handicap my ability to perform in any employment situation. Secondly, time management is a key part in education and career goals. Learning to balance a full time job, school, and a family with two small children is difficult. If I do not learn this art I will became very overwhelmed and one of the realms will suffer and possibly fail. Lastly, my trouble with reading and spelling. As a dyslectic that dropped out of high school, this is my greatest concern. In my education, it will affect the comprehension of the course work. In my career, it will directly affect my performance on everyday activities. These three challenges have the potential to make my education and career goal difficult to obtain.…

    For me as an artist, I prefer to create visual pieces or 2-D, mainly by drawing or painting. However, one of my biggest strengths in being an artist and a person in general is my creativity. Being a creative person makes me a good artist. I use the ideas I get and then I am able to turn them into works of art. Everytime I sit down ready to do something with art, I brainstorm ideas of what to do and my mind just starts to race. No matter what situation I am put in, I am positive I can be creative in an unique way to create something wonderful. However, like any other person, I have my weaknesses as an artist. From time to time I am given the task to create something three dimensional. Ever since I was little I have struggled with creating something 3-D. I prefer to use a pencil to draw rather than to use my hands to sculpt something. With anything I do, I will always run into things that I struggle with along with the things that I can excel at. The past semester in Art II has made me a better artist. From learning different techniques to just creating art in general, I have been able to expand my skills as an artists. In the next years I hope to continue to use these skills and to become a better artist as well as a better…

    My strengths include communication, integrity, interpersonal skills, work ethic, and responsibility. At my current job, Dairy Queen, communication is key to accomplishing goals and making sure that the job gets done with minimal errors. I work with around six other people per shift and when making products, it is important that everyone know which product you’re making to keep from making the same thing twice. Integrity is also a key part of my job. When you do something wrong, you take responsibility for your mistakes. There was an instance where I had given the customer the wrong order and had to take responsibility for us losing time to remake both orders that had then been messed up. Interpersonal skills are also important because you have to get along with your co-workers and employees to keep a healthy work environment. Although some co-workers and some customers can get under my skin every now and then, I have to maintain a calm composure to keep work going no matter what happens. When it comes to work ethic, it has to look like we’re staying busy. If we aren’t making products or helping customers, we are supposed to be cleaning or stocking cups, candies, or utensils. If there is nothing to do, I ask what else needs to be done or what my managers want specifically to be done. I always arrive at least fifteen minutes early and stay until I’m certain that I’m not needed for the store to be successful. When it comes to responsibility, I try my best to get my work done and keep on top of everything. I also double check the orders that I make so I make minimal mistakes. I definitely need to improve on teamwork skills. When at work, I usually try to work on things by myself with almost no help from my coworkers. I usually find that it’s easier for me to work on my own rather than having help from my coworkers. I could also improve…
