I currently work in one of the most competitive industries in the UK, the Financial Services Industry. This experience has shaped my knowledge and skills hugely. For example, I manage large projects to bring new business opportunities, which require high levels of dedication, hard work and creativity. I believe that these skills are transferable to a teaching position as I will be looking after various students and it is my responsibility to ensure they are progressing educationally. Therefore, I would need to put a specific set of skills together to make this happen, such as the skills mentioned previously.

Furthermore, I can adapt well when faced with change. This is because I see this from a positive point of view in that change can present a new learning opportunity. I take the same outlook when faced with issues and in fact, I tend to keep my cool as this will keep me focused to find a solution. Overall, I can manage different situations with confidence, and I am aware that being a teacher can bring various situations on a day-to-day basis.
