WHO IS TOM HILL?
I'm a potential employee looking for a career as a programmer.
Currently equipped with excellent C/C++ skills, a highly
enthusiastic and outgoing personality, and topped off
with the fact I'm a great team player, I'm looking to
join your professional, creative environment.
I believe that I take a flexible approach
to work, with me quite happily working within a team
and also on my own, proven through all my previous job
experience. Also, suited to programming, I have a natural
way with numbers as seen with my studies of Mathematics
in the last few years, an essential quality.
I am also sociable, and enjoy meeting
new people. Having good work relationships is very important
to me, but is secondary to the task in hand. I am able
to remain focused on a task and be calm under pressure
- working to a specific deadline was a large part of
my role in my supermarket job, and as part of my education
in general. Overall I believe I have a fair idea about
what a team and business wants from me and I think I
could live up to that. Even though I'm currently studying
and haven't had experience working within Industry,
I believe that all these qualities combined with my
willingness to learn mean I would suit it and it would
suit me.
