A relevant qualification and experience for the Job
Knowledge and skills have been acquired from bachelor’s degree in Information

six websites for several events and companies.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Very strong verbal, interpersonal and written communication skills have been
achieved throughout my academic career. I believe that communication is undoubtedly
one of the most important skills to possess in contemporary scenario of advanced world
and businesses. Globalisation is something that is completely unavoidable in today’s
world and this has made effective communication in the face of cultural diversity
important than ever before.
Being a professional freelance graphic designer at own business, more than
1000 graphic designs projects were completed successfully and they all dealt with
several international clients as well. There was never any negative review attained from
any of the clients. Working in own business has helped in improving written and verbal
communication skills as I was required to interact with many international and national
clients and customers and communicating with the staffs. I am very good at two
international languages including French and German. As my business was spread in
international borders as well, therefore, often I was required to communicate with
Germans. I effectively did so and also was successful at making my brand awareness in
Germany.

customers and communicating effectively in proper manner at variety of situations. I
speak clear and ensure that the electronic messages that I send are not vague in any

way. With the same, attained technical writing skills through professional experience
and have excellent command in grammar, punctuation and spellings.
Ability of explaining technical issues to a non-technical audience
I have the potential of explaining technical issues to the non-technical audience. I
believe that the ability of translating the technical problems to the non-technical
audience or clients is key and as a graduate developer, I will be doing it many times
while communicating with the customers, business partners and anyone who is non-
technical audience. For this purpose, I opt for explaining the issues as a story. I have
also participated in many storytelling events during my school years and also at my
university. I have also achieved rewards and trophies in the story telling competitions
held at my university. Hence, I can say that I am good at storytelling as well. At the
same time, I am very patient and empathetic in nature. Often, when I had my own
business, I had to face some clients and customers who were very bad at
communication and often failed to give us a clear description of the requirements. I
behaved very patiently at those times and ensured to make the communication better
and effective by means of calling them whenever they could or by sending them e-mails
so that they can revert back whenever possible.
Strong attention to detail
Strong skill of paying attention to minute details of everything and thereafter, take
the necessary decisions. Never chose to take any step quickly in a single go and always
try to achieve thoroughness and accuracy during accomplishing a particular task. I
possess the ability of manipulating small pieces of data with thorough accuracy and at
the same time, focus on the crucial skills of mine. I always ensure to plan the tasks that
I am given before starting them. I create check lists and often develop time lines for the
completion of the task within the right time.
Advanced troubleshooting and excellent skill of problem solving
Excellent at problem solving as have always been a good advisor and problem
solver during my school and university. I was the one to solve the conflicts among my
peers as well. Think several times before reacting and be patient while speaking or
explaining something to anyone. Hence, I have a strong skill of handling conflicts
sportingly. I was the one to solve the conflicts among my peers as well. I always think
before reacting and never show aggressiveness. With the same, I ensure effectively
playing my role and would assist the escalated support team of the organisation with all
the technical supports for resolving the customers’ issues in proper and timely manner
as hands-on software troubleshooting experience is possessed.
Self-motivated and able to work autonomously
Highly self-motivated and work autonomously. Often start projects all on my own
without any direction from my peers and enjoy doing so. As compared to most of the
people of the same age, I have much more willingness and self-discipline for trying out
new things. Once, during my graduation years, I was given a team project. The team

was of 8 members. Since, my academic career was good, my professors made me the
team leader. I faced many challenges in leading the team as different members had
different opinions and they wanted to handle the work in their own different way. But, I
never allowed myself to lose motivation and stayed focused. Finally, I let my team
members finish their allocated work in the way they want but within the time lines that I
have set. In this way, I ensured we meet the deadline and accuracy and deliver the
desired results.
