the right tone when communicating
with my team.

D. PROBLEM SOLVING
e.g
- prioritising tasks There were many situations where
my problem solving helped my team
out. For example on boxing day the
3. amount of parcels became too high
causing the conveyor belt to get stuck
in which I took the initiative to quickly
inform the manager so the conveyor
belt can start working again.
When being placed in the heavy box
side of the warehouse, I struggled
with carrying some of the boxes
which caused me back pains. I then
did some research in my time and
found out the correct way to handle
heavy objects which then stopped my
back pain.

Briefly reflect upon the
assessment, including ideas to
improve your employability skills

strengthened many skills while

punctuality skills, problem solving
skills and many more. I also
learned from mistakes I made
such as the time I was sick but
did not contact the manager. I
now know that it can cause a lot
8. of problems for the manager if he
is not informed of absence. When
i returned back to work i made
sure that i had proof on my
sickness (a note from the doctor)
and i apologised for not informing
him of the situation.
