Be able to demonstrate: More specifically how to rate yourself Where and how have I developed this skill?
My competence
•Be an effective member of a team During my education processes in military academy
to achieve a successful outcome (20142015), I was appointed on a sergeant position and had
to take responsibility for other eight cadets. In a result of this
assignation my squad was constantly on the top positions in
academy ratings for the end of the week. We also set a
record by taking the 1st place
6 weeks in a row. I have been constantly working on
1 2 3 4 5 creating a friendly but hardworking and altruistic
atmosphere inside our team. The most important step here
was to prove them that we are all equal and the straps on my
shoulders does not change anything. I was sharing the
responsibilities with my teammates like no other sergeants
Teamwork would do and it helped me to earn respect and loyalty inside
my squad.
• Understand your individual role and I was developing this skill all my life throughout
contribution to a team. participating in sport. Football is a great example. My
dream was always to become a striker. When I have joined
my first academy at the age of 6, I started to train as striker
because I only seen myself scoring goals. However, during
1 2 3 4 5 years of trainings and experience I became a defender.
When my coach first said “you not going to play striker any
more, we have to try as defender” I was really confused
and upset but I didn’t give up. Next few months of
trainings and games were so different and less enjoyable for
me then before, however exactly at this point I have realised
 that I’m a part of team and if being a defender will bring
success

than I will train as defender. Later on, I have also realised
why coach decided to change my position and In the end I
made it to a professional academy level in UK.
A good example of good level of understanding on my
behaviour and what impact it could have on others could be
my experience in military academy. There were 80 cadets to
be taken on course every year. All the same age and with
equal opportunities. However, after first two month officers
had to identify 10 best cadets and appoint them as sergeants.
It happened that I was one of them. At that point it was a

huge responsibility for me and I had to be really smart and
careful about things if I wanted to keep developing.
Choosing the right strategy for managing every day routine
and picking an appropriate manner of communication with

and respond perceptively to others. never hesitate to ask for advice or opinion from people I
work, study or do sport with. The more angles I can see the
more useful information I can get. Working in Tesco(2018-
2019) I had to learn a lot of new things about Self –
Checkout service. From the first day of training the
manager appreciated my manner of learning and listening. I
made sure I understood everything she was saying. Also I
1 2 3 4 5 asked her to give me some feedback in the end after I did
some demonstration work for her. Also, my parents gave
me a good education in early childhood where I learned
how not to take critics personally and always to be able to
extract positive out of negative. On my second year of
working on a self-checkout I have already trained four
people to a very good standard that also shows my ability
to give feedback as its an important part of every training.

in every day life, university assignments or lectures tasks as
same as my past experience in college, military academy or
1 2 3 4 5 school. However, It always takes time for preparation and
searching for necessary information on how to build or
structure the particular document. The lack of confidence
and extra time for research could have an impact on quality
of work.

techniques of traveling from young age gave me the ability to adapt
my communication to a variety different people, with
different views, religion, characters and personalities.
 A good example could be one of the training for selfcheckout
service I had to provide for a new colleague at Tesco. Self-
checkout tills are completely computerized and work on
Windows basis, therefore for some people who doesn’t have
a lot of experience on working with computers it could
become really challenging to understand some details or
processes that they have to go through. The colleague I was

training was in her middle 60s, and almost without
experience of working on windows, as she had a Macbook at
home which uses different operation system. So, at some
point I had to find alternative ways to explain on how to

the till. Also, I was using a lot of comparisons and only
simple language to make it as much easier as possible.
• Able to construct arguments and present these to History lessons in school were one of my favorite because
a range of audiences. only there we could battle with each other or even with
teacher throwing facts or arguments about particular war or
battle that happened before. Second World War was one of
my favorite topics to talk. My grandfather and grandmother
used to tell me a lot of stories about war period, how it was
1 2 3 4 5
before, during and after. I also had a lot of independent
literature that my granddad was slowly introducing to me as I
was growing up based on second world war. Listening to a
real life stories and reading a different literature since young
age gave me this opportunity and desire to speak and share it
with classmates and teachers.

 Multiple successful presentation during education in
school, military academy, college and university developed
a good understanding on how to work with information and
how to present it for wide range of groups. A good example

company “The Range”. During my second year of working

Presentation skills analysing the big sport event “The Great North Run” The
work was presented by me to my tutor and group of
students. The result was successful pass with B+ grade.
Another good example could be the presentation I have
done in the beginning of my 1st year in university. The aim
of presentation was to present myself for the rest of my
classmates. The purpose of this little project was to get
know each other and start building relationships inside the
group as we have to study together for the remaining 3

years. Every single person was different, and had something
amassing to tell us about. This caused a long and enjoyable

personal choice as it was important for my university

my first part- time job in local home store “The Range”. Be

• Able to execute a project plan which follows a A good example could be given from one of the university
designated schedule to produce a finished piece units I’m undertaking right now. The unit name is “Sport for
of work within a given time period Sustainable Development”. Our teacher has separated us in
groups at some point, and set us a task to plan and deliver a
specific training session that would focus on “Education
through sport”. The deadline was in 5 days, which gave our
1 2 3 4 5
team time to discuss and plan everything. After reading
through all necessary material I came up with a little plan
that was covering warm-up, main- part, and cool-down. Plan
was agreed by all members and roles were given to everyone
in a fair way. The execution of the plan went really well in
the future and we were given a positive feedback from tutor.

additional subjects that you would not be able to study in

 Another good example could be my second life change that
happened only one year ago. After successfully finishing
college and working full time to be able to earn enough
money I finally made it to University. Moving away from
parents to a different town in new country was challenging
step. Getting into university life as quickly as possible while
constantly looking for a good job place and making friends

understand that study is my main priority, however this
priority was becoming impossible without working at least

second year.

• Build and maintain cooperative networks and
relationships with tutors, peers and corporate
representatives. 1 2 3 4 5 Building a healthy and friendly relationships that is
something I am good at, however I need to work on how to
take it to a next level of cooperative networks.
A good example could be work I have done in 2017-2018 in
Bedford for company “Maplin”. I had a role of customer
assistant in one of the local electrical stores. One of my
Networking unique skills was ability to speak in Russian, Ukrainian and
English languages and it was really easy for me to pick up

being on a line not longer then 40 seconds, I have realized
 that customer has possibly speaking with Slavic accent and I
just asked a simple question “Could you try to explain the
issue for me in your language please? The customer started to
speak Russian l and as soon as I replied him with his native
language he was very surprised and satisfied. The issue was
resolved literally in next three minutes and an hour later the
customer visited a store to make a purchase of particular
product he was looking for.
