In terms of personality, I am a reliable, intelligent hard-working person with good communication skills and a determination to complete any particular task. I can work on my own initiative and in a team with both flexibility and confidence. In addition, I am a systematic thinker with an ability to summarize complex information in such a way that it becomes readily understandable to a person of average intelligence. I am also hoping to gain some further training in Information and Communication Technology. In the longer term, my ambition is to establish a varied career in Internet publication and in Further Education and Adult Training Areas. I have a keen respect for honest, well-administered organizations with a clear sense of direction. My preference is for small organizations rather than large and impersonal bureaucratic ones.
