Other Relevant Skills

Communication: I am able to communicate the fields knowledge effectively. Throughout my educational career I did many group assignments where I negotiated with team members who were in disagreement about our tasks. A recent example was at the University of Bedfordshire; in our group assignment in Network Systems subject we had to choose a network technology to implement for enterprise network, I chose Frame Relay and convinced my other members of the benefits of this system and succeeded in getting their agreement to it. Team Work: I am capable of working as part of a team as my past job experiences and university projects have continuously aided in developing these skills. I did my graduation project as a team member where I contributed effectively not only to choose but also to complete our project on time. During the project, I not only completed my own tasks on time but also helped my other group members to complete their tasks. Organizational Skills: I have good time management skills which help me to complete the tasks on time. During my MSc study I had to work part-time to survive financially, I managed not only to work part time but also completed my Master degree on time.

Problem Solving: This skill has been demonstrated on daily basis whilst being a team member where I have had been involved in problem solving. This skill has also further developed whilst studying in university. Initiative: I always try to take action when I see something needs doing to make the work environment improved and effective. During my MSc project I was stuck on the practical part, I asked for help from my supervisor and other lab staff but nobody could help me. Finally, my supervisor advised me to just mention the problem in project documentation because this is the best I could do. But I was not satisfied; I tried my best and finally made contact with OPNET support team from the internet and sorted out the problem after discussion with them.
