I am adaptive!I can quickly adapt to new situations or environments as well as to strangers!

(For example when doing internships in different firms)

I am good at asserting myself!If I want something, I have no difficulties to

achieve it. Others listen to what I say!(For example if I want to learn a certain profession, but my

parents oppose, I certainly can convince them that it suits me!)



I am persistent!I can stick to a task for a long time and do

not easily lose my patience.(For example: I have already completed internships and always

gotten through the tasks I have been assigned to)

I am creative!I have new ideas over and over again.

I like to do handicrafts, draw, or write what comes to my mind.

(For example: Artists have to be creative. Or that I am inventive when solving problems)



I am ready to continue to learn!I want to continue to learn even after school, on the job. I want to understand many things

that make me curious.(For example when I visit a training school and new aspects of

my profession are explained to me.)

I am good at organizing!I can arrange things independently and in

doing so manage well to save time and money.

(For example organizing a private party: giving people a call, buy food and drinks, preparing, compiling music.)

I am orderly!It is important to me that my exercise books look orderly and that everything is tidy in my

room at home.Author: team of WUK Domino www.domino.wuk.at [email protected]


(Also in the workplace, for example: clearing away used tools or writing implements etc. before going home.)

I am autonomous ! I can get things done by myself – without my

parents or teachers. (For example going to the employment office, filling in a payment form, shopping, searching for a firm offering

internships.)

I am a team player!I can work well with a team and listen to

what others say.(For example: I like to prepare a speech with others or to create

a student magazine.)



I am reliable!When I have reached an agreement with

someone, I stand to it! Should I not be able to keep an appointment, I call and cancel it!

(For example: when I have made an appointment with the employment office, I will certainly show up.)

I am physically resilient!I can stand for a long time, I am strong and

arduous!(For example: I had to do a lot of standing and heavy lifting

during internship. I didn’t mind.)



I am manually skilled!I can work well with my hands!

(For example: I am good at doing handicrafts, I am at ease assembling a work piece in manual training.)

I have good technical comprehension!I easily grasp technical problems. I know

how technical equipment works!(For example: I quickly know how to use a new cell phone. I

dissemble radios and can assemble a computer!)

I have a good memory!I quickly recall a lot of things, people and

situations. (For example a story I might have read.)



I can concentrate well!When I carry out a task, or listen to

someone, I am very attentive and keep at it.(For example when someone is telling me something, I listen

well and do not let myself get distracted!)

I can verbalise well and I am articulate!I am at ease talking. I know many different expressions and quickly find the right word.

(For example in retail or in an office: consulting customers, telephoning, selling.)



I am outgoing and sociable!I easily become acquainted with people! I

am outgoing and like to communicate.(For example in retail and other professions it is necessary to

approach people.)

I am diligent!I like to work much and quickly. Often I

accomplish more work than I am asked to.(For example when helping at home I would not only clear away

the dishes but right away clean up the whole kitchen.)

I am very thorough ! When I have to accomplish a task, I am

always very precise. I don’t like slouchiness. (For example when I paint or trim something.)



I am good at observing!Changes in people easily catch my attention.

When I become acquainted to someone, I look at them closely.

(For example how they dress, their haircuts, noticing their mood.)

I have good manners!I am polite and courteous.

(For example greeting, thanking, being friendly to other people.)



I know how to write!I can write entire texts and make only few

grammatical and spelling mistakes.

I am ready for action!I adjust quickly to approach a given task and

fully commit to it.(For example when I get an assignment at school or during an

internship.)



I am sympathetic!I show understanding and can put myself in

other people’s position. (For example when my friend isn’t well, I am insightful for

his/her bad temper.)

I am good at reading!I can read any text and understand the content.

I am good at calculating!



The basic arithmetical operations are no problem for me.(For example: + - x :)

I work quickly!When working I am always speedy.

(For example when I accomplish a task at home or during an internship.)
