As I wander through bustling cities, I can't help but marvel at the structures towering above me and ponder over the foundations of our society. Observing the intricacies of a business hierarchy and the conversations that shape it fascinates me both academically and creatively.
My thirst for knowledge has led me to pursue A-levels in Business, Government and Politics, and Psychology. I am constantly acquiring transferable skills and deepening my understanding of professional interactions, which have proven useful in my academic pursuits. My studies in Business have equipped me with knowledge on cash flow budgets and profit, and how hierarchical structures play a significant role in every business and societal structure. A-level Psychology has tested my critical and analytical abilities, enhancing my communication and observational skills that are crucial in the business world.
Working in a fast-paced restaurant and a local pub's bar has amplified my confidence and communication abilities. This experience has provided me with valuable insight into how different financial situations can influence a business's aims and priorities. I have learned that employee relationships and organizational structures play vital roles in business success and in applying theoretical knowledge into practice.
My involvement in school council, head of house, and charity representative positions has honed my leadership skills, constructive criticism, time management, and problem-solving abilities. Public speaking has become an area where I feel comfortable, an essential skill for both coursework and professional endeavors.
Starting A-levels amidst the COVID-19 lockdown has exposed me to the pandemic's impact on social structures and businesses, particularly in the construction industry.
