Core Competencies
I have my core competence within:
• AutoCAD drawings – I have made many drawings myself, but I am also used to validating
drawings.
• I have a natural eye for details, spotting deviations, finding “patterns” etc.
• I have done a lot of calculations of retaining walls, slopes, reinforced concrete etc. and I am
also used to validating calculations.
Personal Characteristics
• I am analytic and well organized - I do not mind working with details and routines do not
become boring to me – there are always some new things to explore – but I prefer some
variations in my job.
• I prefer working in a team – not that I cannot do the job on my own – but being a part of
team motivates me and I benefit from the knowledge of my colleagues and I can share my
knowledge as well. I care for my colleagues and I am very open minded to new ideas.
