Accounting and Finance Personal Statement My passion for Accounting, Business and Finance has developed from observing the progression of my family's business that specialises in independent financial advice. Alongside this I found it fascinating studying A-levels, these subjects gave me a foundation for my academic knowledge leaving me intrigued to learn more, this is how I established that working within the financial industry was for me. I feel that at degree level I can broaden the valuable skills needed in the working environment and develop a method of thinking for challenging issues on decision making. I would like to enhance this by gaining practical work experience by undertaking a work placement to use the knowledge achieved within a degree to real life situations, preparing myself for problems that may arise later in the professional world.
Throughout my studies I have dealt with business case studies reporting on real life organisations. One such case study was
Woolworth's where I had to analytically assess the financial
performance of the business through ratio analysis and interpret the information drawing conclusions. This enabled me to expand my thinking, comparing businesses and reflecting on information such as the current state of the economy. One particular topic that has interested me is 'Risk Management'. Whilst studying this I have learnt to identify, assess and prioritize risks that a company may encounter. By using cognitive skills of critical thinking throughout projects I am able to measure the risk and uncertainties of a decision and negotiate a preferable outcome.
I currently work for a well established late night music
entertainment company. Within my role I have been working on a crew development programme. In which I created a Marketing Plan for the company to stage a night which was presently closed. I had to analyse a market typically shared by the student population from which I was able to budget and forecast for the present night. The research and identifying of analytical influences I undertook proved very successful and it is now an established event. In reward for my commitment and loyalty I have been promoted to Supervisor. I provide leadership to the team ensuring they have the human and physical resources to undertake their work in an efficient manner. Learning to deal with a variety of people shows I am an all rounded
person and can deal with responsibilities whist under pressure in a professional and organised manner.
I have under taken work experience for an independent financial advisor with a company called 'Positive Solutions'. I
produced their tax returns and other admin work and I experienced how advice is recommended to customers through financial products. My time here gave me a broader knowledge on the financial sector and influenced my decision on a profession within this industry. I also work for the Finance company 'Saga' which has been very interesting to me as I have to utilise several internet based operations whist contacting customers, proving I can multi task. From studying at college and upholding two part time jobs I am organised and have very good time management as I am a motivated and enthusiastic person.
I have trained in a mediation course and I am currently part of a charitable organisation as a volunteer for 'Ashford Mediation Service' which offers a process to allow individuals to find mutually beneficial solutions to problems. From this I have learnt to take an objective approach to situations and find the most suitable
arrangement for an individual. I feel this will benefit me with
decision making and understanding all aspects of business issues.
I have always been inspired to learn and have a committed approach to progressing onto degree level. I believe it will give me the determination needed to succeed in the world of finance and I will gain from this degree a depth of knowledge and a variety of experience that will prepare me well for a career within the financial services.
英国留学个人陈述会计专业范文 Accounting and Mathematics Personal Statement
Attending an interesting and informative lecture on Accounting and Mathematics confirmed my desire to do a degree in this field. I was under the impression that accountancy purely involved dealing with figures, but I learned that they are advisors who help
businesses maximise profits whilst minimising liabilities to ensure they comply with regulations. I have also learnt that accountants are always in demand in the economy as they play an important part in any business.
I have always expressed an interest for Maths; from the age of 7, I attended an after school maths class called Kumon, which helped me develop my mental arithmetic skills and apply them to harder and more complex problems. My passion has grown throughout secondary school, but I have become especially
interested and aware of topics throughout my studies at A-Level. Studying Maths and Further Maths has provided me with the
opportunity to learn different aspects of mathematics in-depth and about the different theories and how they were derived.
Furthermore, I feel it has given me an insight into working out statistical problems and relating these to real life situations. My genuine interest and passion for maths has been demonstrated through, and enhanced by, events such as the Intermediate
Mathematics Challenge, for which I achieved a silver award. This year I am participating in the MTUK Senior Mathematics Challenge and hoping to achieve high results.
I also study Economics which has allowed me to appreciate how theories are put into practice and has broadened my
understanding of issues concerning present day affairs. Studying Economics while in an Economic recession has helped me in many ways. Firstly, in understanding how the government and firms use different policies in order to maintain a healthy business. It has also
given me an opportunity to see how the recession has affected people working in various industries and how the government has tried to encourage sales by cutting the value added tax from 17.5% to 15%. With the hope of putting what I had learned into practice, I took the part of financial director in Young Enterprise in Year 10. My responsibilities included the management and allocation of the set-up capital as well as the calculation of revenue, expenses and profit. Here I worked with other members of the team to figure out how the capital would be best spent, allowing me to develop my communication, planning and organisational skills.
Outside school, I like keeping active. This involves going to the gym four times a week and attending a dance class as often as possible in order to keep fit. My personal fitness is very important to me as I feel that it provides me with opportunities to demonstrate concentration and self discipline. While the gym relies on personal motivation and dedication, dance allows me to exercise in a more social atmosphere. In addition to this, I have a part time job in Boots for whom I have been working for over two years. I feel that working there has allowed me to gain skills as an individual, as it has given me the opportunity to develop my communication skills and handle situations using my own initiative.
As an individual I strive to achieve the highest possible result in everything I do. I am looking forward to the challenges I will face at University and am eager to show enthusiasm in furthering my knowledge in the subjects I am the most passionate about.

I have always thoroughly enjoyed Mathematics, and perhaps naturally, I am looking towards a degree course in finance.
However, I have other interests beside Mathematics. I believe a Business and Management degree course would be more
satisfying because of its diverse elements. When recently I became Deputy Head Girl, my interest in management was awakened. I now have important responsibilities. I have become much more aware of time-management, working as part of a team, setting targets, and representing both the Headmaster and the pupils
Being part of the Sixth Form Council, the school's prefectorial forum, has made me more confident in expressing my opinions, and developing my listening skills
Working as a clerical assistant in an architectural firm in
London for my work experience was very rewarding: I improved my computer skills and my ability to tackle new situations. I have also worked for the British Council in Cairo teaching English
I am thoroughly enjoying the International Baccalaureate, and one particular recent project stands out, the Science project. As secretary of our group, I had to make sure that everyone was working, and organise meetings, prepare a formal presentation, which was recorded on video. This project showed how a team worked under pressure, and that working together was essential I enjoy sport and started playing squash when I first came to ************ and earlier this year I was appointed captain, once

Not only do I work with my peers, but I also lead them: I can see how individual efforts affect the entire team. Directing fund raising events for Amnesty International further refined my
organisation skills. Recruiting new members to the group tested my promotional abilities as well

scheme in 1999. I have nearly completed the Gold, which has been
very demanding but great fun. The team spirit was a necessity, though the biggest challenge is one's determination

Accounting and Finance Personal Statement
My decision to apply for a degree course in Accounting and Finance stems from my research in the college library and my career aspiration to become a chartered accountant. I particularly enjoy administrative work, numerical and statistical exercises, and opportunities to work with others as a team. I am confident that these strengths and transferable skills will be developed in a degree course, and valuable in my subsequent career
In order to get a head start, I have arranged a two-week work experience programme with Ahmed and Co accountancy, which provides services for well-known restaurants, cafes and other
businesses. These two week work experience will provide me with a greater understanding of the basic skills required of an
accountant, and introduce me to techniques such as cash balance appraisal, budgetary control and current cost accounting
I am currently studying A- Level ICT and History and AS- Level Urdu and Business Studies. Studying AS-Level Business Studies will provide the foundations and understanding of real life problems faced by businesses and the right solutions that are used by
professional businesses in order to succeed and A-Level in ICT will give me a better understanding of advanced technology available that can be used in order to process more easily with less time consuming
I am a very active sportsman, taking advantage all sports
facilities that my college provides. I have represented my college in cricket, football, basketball and cross-country and the medals, certificates and trophies accomplished can represent these. I hope to take these achievements further by representing the university in the sports facilities it will provide and by achieving more medals and trophies as possible
I believe university offers an excellent opportunity to further my learning in a challenging environment so I am applying for a degree in accounting and finance, which will enable me to acquire the skills required to understand the world of business and help me become a chartered accountant
I look forward to the challenge of a demanding degree course, and am confident that I have the personal qualities and academic motivation to make a success of it.

Accounting and Finance Personal Statement
Since I was very young I have always been interested in accounting and finance and how they operate. In China, my favourite TV programme is the finance programme and I enjoy international finance. I frequently worked in my mother's company to help the staff in the accounts department. All of these have given me an understanding of accounting and finance
My passion for the subject expanded when I chose accounting as part of my A-level programme. Although this subject is somewhat demanding, I find it extremely interesting. I believe this is the right choice for me. I am confident that a course in accounting and finance satisfies my interest. I am looking forward to learning more of accounting in my A-level course
In my spare time I enjoy playing basketball. I play once or twice a week with my friends. I also like to listen to music. I think that playing basketball can help me to increase the team spirit and music can help me relax. Also while I was working as a cleaner in Downing College at Cambridge University, I believe that I gained invaluable experience in
dealing with the boss and trying to deliver colleague satisfaction, whilst learning to work effectively and efficiently in a well-structured team. Hopefully I will be able to get this kind of opportunity to work whilst at university. I enjoy my spare time and try to use it effectively
I consider myself to be a hard working outgoing individual. I still have some
shortcomings. For example, I am a little bit disorganised sometimes. But I have known this and I am trying to correct it. I have made a timetable to organise my daily life. I am looking forward to the challenge of university life, both socially and mentally. I strongly believe that my years at university will be enjoyable and those that I will remember for the rest of my life. Most of all I am hoping that my chosen subject will give me a strong foundation for a successful career.

Accounting Personal Statement
I am an ambitious, creative and enthusiastic individual. Since childhood I have enjoyed maths, as it is challenging and consists mostly of problem solving. Therefore, wanting to further my career in accounting. I am a sociable individual who gets on well with others. I am computer literate; therefore I am familiar with software's such as Excel and publisher, and I believe that this skill will help with my progress in accounting. I work well on my own and within a group, which makes me an ideal candidate for an accounting degree
During my years at school not only have I gained nine GCSE's at grade C's or above including a grade B in Maths, but I have also taken part in many sporting events. I have achieved three medals of which one is gold in Athletics and two silver in Basketball and Rounders. I have also accomplished a compact certificate representing my 100%
punctuality and attendance and emphasising my enthusiasm in my work and education. I was also a prefect, this symbolizes that I am a reliable individual with great potential
I have had a wide range of work experience in many fields such as teaching, pharmacy and as a sales representative, which has helped me develop my
communication skills. I am also enrolling on a part-time, three-month managers course with McDonalds to widen my work experience. This course will include Health and Safety, time management and dealing with costumer complaints. During my experiences I have realised that accounting is the field of work I wish to proceed in this is because of previous work placements which I have enjoyed but not to the extent that I would with accounting

Accounting & Finance/Economics Personal Statement
From the moment I began considering careers and courses at university, I have always been drawn towards business and financial routes. I would say this is because I feel I have the right qualities for these routes, especially the ability to think logically and analytically.
I feel accounting will offer me a steady career path in the financial world that could lead on to other related fields such as investment banking or financial analysis.
Another reason I am attracted to accounting is that I have a strong interest in corporate business and the economy. I read the BBC's section on the economy and business almost every day; I find it incredible to observe how economic changes higher up can have enormous effects lower down upon the public, such as the buyout of HBOS by Lloyds TSB or the current credit crunch leading us into a recession. I often have discussions with my father and older brother who are very experienced with the current working world, with regards to the property market, economy and current affairs related to the economy such as new laws and taxes.
I attended a presentation given by two trainee accountants currently studying to
become chartered under the ACA professional body. I was intrigued to learn the different routes into accounting, and the opportunities the subject and career provide. This confirmed my initial aspiration to enter the accountancy and finance profession.
At Advanced level I have enjoyed studying varied subjects. I am consistently
perplexed by the complexity of organisms that are studied in biology, and take pleasure in learning how humans, animals and plants are adapted and how they evolve.
Design Technology gives me a chance to be creative and do hands on work. It's
simply remarkable to produce a product from initial conception and research right through to manufacture and evaluation. Theory work in D&T is also very intriguing; there is great emphasis on business and markets, and when designing one needs good problem solving skills as they need to work to a set of goals to solve a real market issue. Attaining a high grade at Advanced Subsidiary level shows my determination to achieve the highest standard of work.
ICT is an ever important part in society, and as such I feel it is a highly relevant subject. ICT looks at the close links between business and technology which forms a strong relationship crucial to any business or working environment. I have advanced IT and computing skills, and am capable of using IT to its full potential in order to assist me with work.
I have good written communication skills, and often enjoy writing opinionative articles and short stories on online communities. I feel this benefits me when writing essays or reports as I can write fluidly and clearly. Studying Critical Thinking at Advanced Subsidiary level has contributed to my writing abilities, as it is shown me how to analyse, structure and write arguments.
I also have good presentation skills; I am adept in the art of presentation where I make gooduse of ICT, imagery and language to engage my audience and thoroughly communicate the topic which I may be presenting.
Outside of school, I have many interests and hobbies. One of my favourite interests is music. I enjoy playing guitar of a wide variety of styles such as blues, funk and rock and am currently studying for a Grade 8 qualification. I enjoy playing with friends in a band as it gives me a chance to work as part of team to produce fully structured songs. Within school I attend a blues club held by a senior music teacher and have also taken part in music evenings held by the music department.
My varied subjects and the skills I have attained along with my outside interests have led me to develop a strong interest in accounting, finance and the economy. As a result I am exceptionally motivated and dedicated to succeeding in university and having a successful career in accounting and finance.

Accounting and finance personal statement
This is Ali Hassan and I intend to purse my further studies in the field of accounting. What I think about this field is “Accounting is like Art’. You have to analyse every aspect before making a just decision. I believe that if someone is good at art, he would be good at accounts because you need logic, everything has a set order and method. Each piece is placed carefully and has a high significance amongst its environment. You need analytical skills. Take apart every piece of information and use it to make your own decisions.
I have studied accounts as my own and have developed an interest in it and would therefore like to continue doing so at LUMS. The course that I would like to do at LUMS is Business Accounts or Accounts and Finance. I feel that the two subjects combine well with one another and on many occasions I have founds that my knowledge of one has helped me with the other. Studying Maths has also provided me with logic and a greater understanding of various concepts and methods. I have become more flexible in identifying what concepts need to be used and when, thus, helping me achieve the
greatest results possible. I have the ability to pick up skills and knowledge quickly and am independent enough to conduct my own study and research. On many occasions at college I have taught myself various chapters in maths in order to remain ahead of the class.
My main ambition for the future is to become an Accountant Executive or a Financial Advisor. I am hoping university will provide me with an understanding of the business world as well as offering me a wide range of choices and connections after my course.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, swimming, sketching and solving puzzles and logic problems.
I assure you that if provided a chance I will prove myself a promising and committed studen

I have always had a keen interest in Mathematics from an early age. From studying Maths at A-Level, I have gained further insight into the practical application of the subject, especially in the
I have always had a logical, organised and practical way of thinking, as well as a competitive nature, and maths has always appealed to these characteristics. I have
always enjoyed the challenging nature of mathematical problems, and have a diligent and resilient approach to any problem given to me. I find that discovering the correct answer to a problem, regardless of how frustrating or difficult the challenge, extremely satisfying. Maths transcends language barriers, and its understanding is vital internationally. This has always fascinated me, and I feel passionately about further developing such a priceless understanding
I am fully aware of the unlimited career prospects created by a degree in
Mathematics, and I find this another reason to study the subject further. I am interested in a career involving finance andor accountancy. I am currently looking further into the full range of careers available to Mathematics graduates, and also investigating how maths is used in businesses worldwide. I attended an open day workshop at
PriceWaterhouseCoopers during the summer, where I took part in team activities and
explored every aspect of the business, prompting me to further explore careers in Maths related areas.
Although it is Mathematics that I am specifically interested in studying further, I am also very eager to make use of the skills I have learnt in my other A-Level subjects. I hope that studying Business as part of a Mathematics degree will allow me to continue to
practice my skills in the subjects of English and Psychology. I gained the second highest grade in AS English Language in my college, and believe that my skills in text analysis and looking how language is used in certain contexts, as well as my creative writing expertise and knowledge of a variety of discourses will benefit me greatly, not only in terms of a degree, but throughout my working life. Through my studies in Psychology, I have gained an insight into human behaviour, especially Stress and Memory. These modules have provided me with information into how stress occurs, how it affects individuals differently, and coping strategies, as well as the most effective revision strategies. All of these elements can be hugely beneficial when put into practice in a university and working environment.
I am currently working part-time as a Customer Service Assistant for Wickes Building Supplies. During my time with the company, I have gained a Btec in Customer Service, as well as an award for outstanding performance. My job role involves cash handling, serving customers, and dealing with customer enquiries and complaints, both in person and over the phone. Working so closely with the public has increased my confidence, and my interpersonal skills as well as giving me an insight into how businesses, especially the retail business, work.
I often have to apply my mathematical skill in my job, for example, when working out measurements and quantities for projects, and also converting units of measurement, as well as putting into practice ways of increasing sales and profits.
Outside college, I enjoy socialising, going to the gym and rehearsing, writing and performing with my band. I have also recently provided tuition for younger children in playing the guitar, which involved me developing skills I had never had to use before. Performing with my band has increased my confidence levels, and I know feel very comfortable with speaking out, and entertaining larger audiences.

facilities that my college provides. I have represented my college in cricket, football, basketball and cross-country and the medals, certificates and trophies accomplished can represent these.

Accounting and Finance Personal Statement
Since I was very young I have always been interested in accounting and finance and how they operate. In China, my favourite TV programme is the finance programme and I enjoy international finance. I frequently worked in my mother's company to help the staff in the accounts department. All of these have given me an understanding of accounting and finance
My passion for the subject expanded when I chose accounting as part of my A-level programme. Although this subject is somewhat demanding, I find it extremely interesting. I believe this is the right choice for me. I am confident that a course in accounting and finance satisfies my interest. I am looking forward to learning more of accounting in my A-level course
In my spare time I enjoy playing basketball. I play once or twice a week with my friends. I also like to listen to music. I think that playing basketball can help me to increase the team spirit and music can help me relax. Also while I was working as a cleaner in Downing College at Cambridge University, I believe that I gained invaluable experience in
dealing with the boss and trying to deliver colleague satisfaction, whilst learning to work effectively and efficiently in a well-structured team. Hopefully I will be able to get this kind of opportunity to work whilst at university. I enjoy my spare time and try to use it effectively
I consider myself to be a hard working outgoing individual. I still have some
shortcomings. For example, I am a little bit disorganised sometimes. But I have known this and I am trying to correct it. I have made a timetable to organise my daily life. I am looking forward to the challenge of university life, both socially and mentally. I strongly believe that my years at university will be enjoyable and those that I will remember for the rest of my life. Most of all I am hoping that my chosen subject will give me a strong foundation for a successful career.

Accounting Personal Statement
I am an ambitious, creative and enthusiastic individual. Since childhood I have enjoyed maths, as it is challenging and consists mostly of problem solving. Therefore, wanting to further my career in accounting. I am a sociable individual who gets on well with others. I am computer literate; therefore I am familiar with software's such as Excel and publisher, and I believe that this skill will help with my progress in accounting. I work well on my own and within a group, which makes me an ideal candidate for an accounting degree
During my years at school not only have I gained nine GCSE's at grade C's or above including a grade B in Maths, but I have also taken part in many sporting events. I have achieved three medals of which one is gold in Athletics and two silver in Basketball and Rounders. I have also accomplished a compact certificate representing my 100%

Accounting & Finance/Economics Personal Statement
From the moment I began considering careers and courses at university, I have always been drawn towards business and financial routes. I would say this is because I feel I have the right qualities for these routes, especially the ability to think logically and analytically.
I feel accounting will offer me a steady career path in the financial world that could lead on to other related fields such as investment banking or financial analysis.
Another reason I am attracted to accounting is that I have a strong interest in corporate business and the economy. I read the BBC's section on the economy and business almost every day; I find it incredible to observe how economic changes higher up can have enormous effects lower down upon the public, such as the buyout of HBOS by Lloyds TSB or the current credit crunch leading us into a recession. I often have discussions with my father and older brother who are very experienced with the current working world, with regards to the property market, economy and current affairs related to the economy such as new laws and taxes.
I attended a presentation given by two trainee accountants currently studying to
become chartered under the ACA professional body. I was intrigued to learn the different routes into accounting, and the opportunities the subject and career provide. This confirmed my initial aspiration to enter the accountancy and finance profession.
At Advanced level I have enjoyed studying varied subjects. I am consistently
perplexed by the complexity of organisms that are studied in biology, and take pleasure in learning how humans, animals and plants are adapted and how they evolve.
Design Technology gives me a chance to be creative and do hands on work. It's
simply remarkable to produce a product from initial conception and research right through to manufacture and evaluation. Theory work in D&T is also very intriguing; there is great emphasis on business and markets, and when designing one needs good problem solving skills as they need to work to a set of goals to solve a real market issue. Attaining a high grade at Advanced Subsidiary level shows my determination to achieve the highest standard of work.
ICT is an ever important part in society, and as such I feel it is a highly relevant subject. ICT looks at the close links between business and technology which forms a strong relationship crucial to any business or working environment. I have advanced IT and computing skills, and am capable of using IT to its full potential in order to assist me with work.
I have good written communication skills, and often enjoy writing opinionative articles and short stories on online communities. I feel this benefits me when writing essays or reports as I can write fluidly and clearly. Studying Critical Thinking at Advanced Subsidiary level has contributed to my writing abilities, as it is shown me how to analyse, structure and write arguments.
I also have good presentation skills; I am adept in the art of presentation where I make gooduse of ICT, imagery and language to engage my audience and thoroughly communicate the topic which I may be presenting.
Outside of school, I have many interests and hobbies. One of my favourite interests is music. I enjoy playing guitar of a wide variety of styles such as blues, funk and rock and am currently studying for a Grade 8 qualification. I enjoy playing with friends in a band as it gives me a chance to work as part of team to produce fully structured songs. Within school I attend a blues club held by a senior music teacher and have also taken part in music evenings held by the music department.
My varied subjects and the skills I have attained along with my outside interests have led me to develop a strong interest in accounting, finance and the economy. As a result I am exceptionally motivated and dedicated to succeeding in university and having a successful career in accounting and finance.

This is Ali Hassan and I intend to purse my further studies in the field of accounting. What I think about this field is “Accounting is like Art’. You have to analyse every aspect before making a just decision. I believe that if someone is good at art, he would be good at accounts because you need logic, everything has a set order and method. Each piece is placed carefully and has a high significance amongst its environment. You need analytical skills. Take apart every piece of information and use it to make your own decisions.
I have studied accounts as my own and have developed an interest in it and would therefore like to continue doing so at LUMS. The course that I would like to do at LUMS is Business Accounts or Accounts and Finance. I feel that the two subjects combine well with one another and on many occasions I have founds that my knowledge of one has helped me with the other. Studying Maths has also provided me with logic and a greater understanding of various concepts and methods. I have become more flexible in identifying what concepts need to be used and when, thus, helping me achieve the
greatest results possible. I have the ability to pick up skills and knowledge quickly and am independent enough to conduct my own study and research. On many occasions at college I have taught myself various chapters in maths in order to remain ahead of the class.
My main ambition for the future is to become an Accountant Executive or a Financial Advisor. I am hoping university will provide me with an understanding of the business world as well as offering me a wide range of choices and connections after my course.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, swimming, sketching and solving puzzles and logic problems.
I assure you that if provided a chance I will prove myself a promising and committed studen

I have always had a keen interest in Mathematics from an early age. From studying Maths at A-Level, I have gained further insight into the practical application of the subject, especially in the
I have always had a logical, organised and practical way of thinking, as well as a competitive nature, and maths has always appealed to these characteristics. I have
always enjoyed the challenging nature of mathematical problems, and have a diligent and resilient approach to any problem given to me. I find that discovering the correct answer to a problem, regardless of how frustrating or difficult the challenge, extremely satisfying. Maths transcends language barriers, and its understanding is vital internationally. This has always fascinated me, and I feel passionately about further developing such a priceless understanding
I am fully aware of the unlimited career prospects created by a degree in
Mathematics, and I find this another reason to study the subject further. I am interested in a career involving finance andor accountancy. I am currently looking further into the full range of careers available to Mathematics graduates, and also investigating how maths is used in businesses worldwide. I attended an open day workshop at
PriceWaterhouseCoopers during the summer, where I took part in team activities and
explored every aspect of the business, prompting me to further explore careers in Maths related areas.
Although it is Mathematics that I am specifically interested in studying further, I am also very eager to make use of the skills I have learnt in my other A-Level subjects. I hope that studying Business as part of a Mathematics degree will allow me to continue to
practice my skills in the subjects of English and Psychology. I gained the second highest grade in AS English Language in my college, and believe that my skills in text analysis and looking how language is used in certain contexts, as well as my creative writing expertise and knowledge of a variety of discourses will benefit me greatly, not only in terms of a degree, but throughout my working life. Through my studies in Psychology, I have gained an insight into human behaviour, especially Stress and Memory. These modules have provided me with information into how stress occurs, how it affects individuals differently, and coping strategies, as well as the most effective revision strategies. All of these elements can be hugely beneficial when put into practice in a university and working environment.
I am currently working part-time as a Customer Service Assistant for Wickes Building Supplies. During my time with the company, I have gained a Btec in Customer Service, as well as an award for outstanding performance. My job role involves cash handling, serving customers, and dealing with customer enquiries and complaints, both in person and over the phone. Working so closely with the public has increased my confidence, and my interpersonal skills as well as giving me an insight into how businesses, especially the retail business, work.
I often have to apply my mathematical skill in my job, for example, when working out measurements and quantities for projects, and also converting units of measurement, as well as putting into practice ways of increasing sales and profits.
Outside college, I enjoy socialising, going to the gym and rehearsing, writing and performing with my band. I have also recently provided tuition for younger children in playing the guitar, which involved me developing skills I had never had to use before. Performing with my band has increased my confidence levels, and I know feel very comfortable with speaking out, and entertaining larger audiences.
