1. My Best Employability Skills
By Sophie Byrnes

2. Learning
Situation: Learn how to surf.
Task: Stand up on the board.
Action: I practised on the beach first as to how to get up and
what technique I need to use to not fall off. Once I did that I
went into the water to see if I could do it!
Result: It took me a long time to get it but I finally stood up!

3. Communication
Situation: I wanted to know if JB-Hi-Fi had the cd that I
wanted in stock.
Task: Find out if they did.
Action: Looked up on their internet site to get the stores
number that was closest to me. I then rang the number.
Result: They had the cd in stock and held it until I could
pick it up.

4. Planning and Organising
Situation: Organise a drama game.
Task: Put all the kids in teams so we could put together a
skit.
Action: I let them know what they had to do (e.g. I gave
them a piece of paper to write down their characters, then I
gave them a little piece of paper with the situation their
characters had to be in.)
Result: The teams all made up a skit with their characters
and situation they were given.

5. Team Work
Situation: Making sure that everyone has remembered their
lines for our play.
Task: remember all your lines you have to say.
Action: Practise lines with everyone so we know who is
going to speak when so we stay to the script and don’t get
mixed up.
Result: Everyone puts in the hard work, remembers their
lines then we will have a successful play.
