Skills
Leadership – I coached football to children aged from 6 – 11 years old while I was at school, this helped me learn skills in controlling a large group which I have developed further through my work as a water sports instructor where I must keep groups of up to 50 people safe while taking part in activities.
Time management – I developed good time management skills during my last year of school, as I was balancing 2 jobs, playing 2 instruments, keeping up training for multiple sports, and a busy social life while also studying for exams at school and maintaining good grades throughout the year.
Teamwork – I have played football since I was 4 years old and played for a competitive team since I was 11. This has helped me to develop crucial teamwork and communication skills playing in regional leagues and national cups. I have developed this further through work as for both of my jobs I must work with colleagues and communicate effectively to keep customers both safe and happy.
Communication – This is a skill that I have had to use in many aspects of my life from a young age through playing team sports such as football, and now working as a watersports instructor. I must use constant communication with other instructors to keep customers safe. In my work as a server, I must communicate and work with colleagues to complete orders as efficiently as possible.
