Personal / Profile Career Aim

I am a hard working dependable school leaver with excellent communication skills. I am a good listener, can express myself clearly, have a friendly polite manner with a positive attitude. I possess the ability to spell correctly, and have excellent reading and writing skills.
I learn from others, avoid conflict, can identify problems, reach decisions and look at solutions. I possess a good memory, have patience, imagination and initiative.
I am used to working in a team, getting on well with people and showing confidence and perseverance. I am also able to accept criticism and identify my own weaknesses. I show enthusiasm and loyalty, am willing to learn and am good at setting targets.
My career aim is to combine these skills, together with my passion for making and editing my own home made films, and would appreciate a position, in which I can hopefully observe and maybe even, after a few years fulfil my dream job as a film/ TV editor.
