I wish to study acting because I will help fulfil my ambitions of running my own business. This will offer me a way of life where I can meet and interact with people from different backgrounds. I like the idea of running a business with motivated people as they work together to overcome challenges and achieve success for the business. I studied the Access Programme in Business at Liverpool John Moores. I thoroughly enjoy studying in a Further Education environment as it gives me independence and encourages me to manage my time effectively. I have made friends from diverse backgrounds which has been an education in itself. Through the access course I have developed a range of study skills which includes researching, presenting, writing up my findings effectively and sticking to deadlines. Working in groups has improved my communication skills and raised my confidence. I believe I have acquired good presentation skills and my time management is excellent. I am knowledgeable of Windows and Windows-based programs, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. I am highly trained using electronic scanners and tills. My experience includes dealing with agitated customers, colleagues and I have been able to overcome any problems. I feel confident in transferring all these skills to my degree. In high school I was the school prefect in my final year. For this I had to be responsible and organized. For my work experience I worked at Bushey Hall School as a library administrative assistant. In my role I had the opportunity to use the till, organize books and help students to find books. In 2007 I worked for the American Golf Centre in Kings Langley where I registered customer memberships, sold golf related products and helped keep the centre tidy. This job improved my interpersonal skills as I was interacting with customers. I was given the responsibility of helping my section manager to cash up and do stock takes as we were short staffed. In my role as a sales assistant, I communicated effectively with customers in busy environment in order to solve their queries and sell the company's products to them. In my personal life I am an avid football supporter, I played for Bushey Rangers. I love basketball, movies, and swimming. I am also interested in travelling to experience different cultures and have visited many European countries including Spain, Holland, Switzerland, France and Germany. I am currently volunteering at a Christian charity as an adminstrative assistant. It involves I.T. training, internet services, student and career support. I was given responsibility for registering individuals' arrivals and departures during the day. I also clean and maintain the building, solve queries, keep records of money going in and out. Through this job, I am well organized individual and am used to working under pressure. I communicate well both face to face and by telephone; I also enjoy working with a wide range of people. I offer high levels of commitment and enthusiasm combined with excellent time management skills. I am a well-organized and passionate about business and the role of teamwork in business. I am driven and see the importance of punctuality and reliability. I believe that I would be a suitable student for your university because I am a hardworking and conscientious student. I hope you will consider my application and give me the opportunity to have a career in Acting.
