CV
| I am an enthusiastic individual with a strong interest in Art and textiles within the Surface Design area. I hope to develop a career within this field and further my existing skills, knowledge and experience within the design area. Being highly motivated, committed and hard working, I wish to obtain an occupation with great career prospects that provide continuous challenges. I am an extremely keen individual with great communication skills that I have developed throughout my degree and previous employment. I have great personal and relationship skills. I always thoroughly organise my time, consider myself to have excellent organisational skills and I am always punctual. Information Technology skills are exceptional using Photoshop (CAD), Illustrator, word processing (Mircosoft) and digital printing, which have been proven throughout my degree. I have great personal and relationship skills by working through group seminars and activities, participating in group activities and gaining strong relations with the designers and management from my work placement. I am also very quick to learn and I am not afraid to try anything new. Thanks to previous employment and working through my degree I feel extremly comfortable in an environment where meeting targets and working under pressure are essential. |
