2. As an individual I believe I have a variety of strengths and weaknesses. My strengths include communication, my work ethic and my
punctuation. I believe that I have the ability to work individually as this allows me to get on with my work and work at a fast pace with no
distraction. However i also feel that when I work with other people I am able to input my opinion strongly but also listen to what my co-workers
have to say. This allows everyone to put their ideas together to complete the outcome at a professional standard. Also i believe
that i have a very good work ethic working hard and fast with no distractions and my work i believe is to a good standard. I am very
punctual I am always on time with deadlines as well as arriving at the work place. I believe I have a good creative skill and have many
good ideas when it comes to creating something new. Also as an individual I believe I am trust worthy, with my work experience I was
trusted with the company’s money and they trusted me. I have a good level of numeracy as I got a GCSE B level in math. I am well self-presented
and pride myself in being neat and tidy dressing appropriately and when it comes to presenting my tasks I speak confidently and
promote my idea well. I also have a very confident skill in entrepreneurship meaning I research extensively and try to sell my product to
the right audience with the right research to support my choice. I have a good level of understanding when using a variety of software
such as
· Photoshop
· Illustrator
· NewTek Modeller
· Reaper
· Unity
· Game maker
· Unreal engine
I am confident in these software’s and can confidently create a product using each individual piece of software from a 3d model to a
Video game cut sequence script. With this I have been able to boost my creativity and innovation with me finding new skills and
techniques to perform my tasks. I have a good level of humour, this allows me to get along with other people as well as implement that
into my work such as making my model humorous. I am Honest as well I tell my co-works what I think such as a critique about
someone’s work or performance in a polite formal way and what they can do to improve. Over all I think I have a variety of skills that I
can use in a variety of jobs.
