I believe I have taken on a new challenge by enrolling at Westminster International University in Tashkent. It is my opinion that through this challenge I will gain new skills, skills that I will be able to put into practice in my private and my professional life. In order to be successful in life I will need to know what skills I have, what I am good at and what I need to focus on during this course. I intend to use all my skills from previous educational experiences in addition to this new one in the different field of law in which I wish to pursue a future career. I am currently a junior law student at the Westminster University. In my Foundation studies course, I have taken classes in business, marketing, communications and public relations and received distinction in all of them. Eager to leverage my classroom learning into real world experience, I have also worked as a manager , later as a general manager for a small retail business. Later I was a participant in the Work and Travel exchange program, where I have worked in the USA for four months as a sales assistant, in “Secrets of Heaven Ltd”. My responsibilities at “Secrets of Heaven” included all the features of Costumer service skills, from greeting customers and finding out their needs as well as recommending, describing and demonstrating use of the product, receiving and processing payments and providing change and receipts. Now, one of my main ambitions for the future is to get a scholarship to study for a Master’s degree in International law in the United Kingdom or Germany. Simply learning theory is not sufficient if I wish to enter my preferred University to obtain my degree. So, in order to get an excellent academic background as well as real-life experience, I wish to take an internship. Why in the British Council? I believe that a British Council internship will be by far the best choice as it will not only provide great experience but will also allow me to improve my language and communication skills. I am also optimistic that I will gain many other important career skills upon completion of this internship in its unique bicultural atmosphere. *Actually the question was: What do you want to achieve as a professional? What have you already done to achieve this? How do you think internship in the British Council will help you achieve your ambition? Thank you all!!! (from this and last topic)!! Purple Helen I tried to follow your advice but it is still difficult for me...)) Thank you! :)... Read More »
