Task 2
Explore a variety of sites dedicated to obtaining a job in Antarctica. Research the different types of jobs available and then select one you might be interested in. (Use links from Task 1) Your task is to then identify five (5) skills and/or attributes that would be necessary to fulfil that job. For each skill or attribute you identify, write a paragraph explaining how you have demonstrated these skills in the past (relate to your own personal experiences - this is not a real application). For example, you might identify communication skills as a necessary qualification. Ask yourself, how have I demonstrated excellent communication skills in the past? Have you presented at assemblies? Worked in groups and shown leadership skills? You may complete your application by typing directly onto your webpage, or you might like to type it in Word and embed your final document. The choice is yours. |
