Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
A skill I have developed is being creative and having to come up with ideas as well as executing them. Communication is another skill that I was able to develop by working with so many different stakeholders on a day to day basis, internally and externally. Time management and meeting deadlines was really important in my role and it was great to be able to gain more experience with this skill as well as being adaptable and flexible to any changes or curveballs that may have occurred.
