Throughout my work exper ience and stud ies at un ivers i ty I have deve loped severa l important transferab le , employab i l i ty sk i l ls . F i rst ly I have deve loped customer serv i ce sk i l ls through work ing at Stanthorpe Newsagency and at the Westpac In-store . I a lso deve loped leve ls of d iscress ion w i th c l i ents through work ing at the bank wh i ch can be transferred and app l ied to many work env i ronments .
From my exper iences at un ivers i ty I have def in i te ly deve loped research sk i l ls . Part of the learn ing process is research ing projects , concepts and learn ing software programs and Austra l ian standards . Th is a lso app l ies to prob lem so lv ing sk i l ls learnt through un ivers i ty ass ignments both app ly ing to i nd iv idua l and team work s i tuat ions . Team work is another important sk i l l deve loped from my Bache lor of Env i ronmenta l Des ign (Arch i tecture ) . I l earnt i ts important to take in i t i at ive and respect and incorporate everyone ’s i deas . Another major sk i l l der iv ing from both of these are t ime management sk i l ls . Espec ia l ly work ing from home i ts very important to be mot ivated and keep to a schedu le p lan in order to complete tasks . An integra l part of the degree is presentat ion and commun icat ion sk i l ls . W ith the added advantage of tak ing graph i c des ign as an e lect ive as part of my degree , I have produced the sk i l ls to better commun icate present des igns in my ass ignments wh i ch can be app l ied to c l i ente l .
Through my interest i n graph i c des ign I have become adaptab le and f lex ib le i n my interest and sk i l ls to exper ience many des ign f ie lds rang ing from graph i c and inter ior des ign wh i ch I chose as e lect ives at un ivers i ty r ight through to the f ie ld of arch i tecture .
A f ina l sk i l l wh i ch I th ink i s very important w i th todays age and the des ign profess ion is a respect and apprec iat ion for other cu ltures . Th is comes from my trave l l i ng exper iences in I ta ly , Duba i , New Zea land and Vanuatu . A lso grow ing up on a farm I have made many internat iona l fr iends where backpackers have passed through and I be l i eve th is i s va luab le l i fe exper ience as far as commun icat ion and va lues go .
