
Excellent time management skills as a result of studying a full-time degree whilst also working part-time.
Carry around a planner with me everywhere I go to ensure my life is organised which shows I’m punctual and reliable. I
also use this effectively in order to meet university deadlines.
Highly flexible when it comes to working evenings, weekends and bank holidays as this is what I am used to.
Detail orientated which means I’m able to focus on the small elements of a task to meet a certain criteria. For example,
when developing fitness programmes, I like to find out what the clients everyday interests are. This is so I can tailor the
programme to them which will hopefully make them enjoy it more and be physically active for longer.
