During my studies, I equipped myself with the knowledge and skills to progress in life. My studies and work in the academic realm made me realise that I long to take an active part in all kinds of terrain in teaching, learning, and education. I am convinced that I will make a valuable contribution to any institution/company. There are positions at higher education institutions and companies where the diverse abilities and skills that I acquired through studying, teaching and working in higher and secondary education can come in handy and help me succeed.
With many years of education experience, I have the skills and experience necessary to be appointed to an applicable and appropriate position. I enjoy teaching and training but also long to broaden my horizons to become a person who continually strives for something better in education and learning. I am hardworking, qualified, professional, perseverant, and willing to learn. I am also a self-motivated, mature and reliable person with a sunny disposition who enjoys working with people. I believe I’m very dependable and trustworthy. I am realistic, objective-oriented, focused, and performance-driven, and I have the necessary leadership, managerial, and administrative skills and communication ability. Therefore, I believe that I have lots to offer.
I always focus on quality. It is also always my objective to see that my work is of excellent quality and that all parties benefit from it. I am a dedicated and loyal employee whose trademark is quality work. It is also my aim to help the institution/company fulfil its vision, mission, and ethos, and to help in achieving its goals. Furthermore, I work well with others, and I can work alone, and I am experienced. Thus, working with a good team, I can help achieve these goals and set a well-balanced working environment within the institution/company.
I am willing to perform any reasonable task to the best of my ability.
