Name

James Rostron

What is/are your dream job(s)?

My dream job is to be a games designer who focuses primarily on the games narrative. I this is not an option, I would like to work on building levels.

What skills do you possess now?

My best subject by a considerable margin was English. Due to this, my literacy skills are my greatest strength. Another subject I was good at was Media, which I managed to do well in, despite the fact I did not enjoy the content of the lessons. 

Have you carried out any work experience or voluntary work?

I have yet to have any official work experience.

What soft, transferable skills do you possess now or need to develop and how?
Communication	Literacy	Commitment
Tenacity		Honesty
Creativity	Approachable	Trustworthiness
Teamwork	Relatable	Reliability
Self-presentation	Hard Working	Humour
Punctuality	Studious	Empathy
ICT	Calm and Reserved	Numeracy
Try to use examples from your everyday experience and that negatives can sometimes be turned into positives.
An example of these skills in real life is whenever I work in group related tasks in college, I try to interact with all members of the group and I make sure I have a useful role in the task we work on. I regard myself as highly punctual, and I try to attend as many lessons as possible, even when Ill. I am honest and I am committed to my work until it is fully completed to a good standard.

What personal interests and hobbies do you have or have had in the past?
Reading Gaming Films Music	Computer Systems Badminton
However uninteresting you may think your interests are, even if you’ve not taken them very far, put them down.
My primary interest out of the interests stated above is gaming. I was first introduced to video gaming when I was around 7. I played Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver on my dad's PlayStation. I got my first games device when I was 9 which was a white DS Lite and my first game was Lego Indiana Jones the Original Adventures. From then on, I began to love playing games.  My other interests include reading and watching films, which I also quite enjoy. In high school, I enjoyed playing Badminton but I never took it to an extracurricular level.
