SKILL
|
RATING OUT OF 5
|
HOW I GOT THIS
|
Time
management
|
3- I would give myself a
3 out of 5 because I regularly plan my time, and make lists of things that
need doing, however I often struggle to keep to these. I need to improve on
my focus to be able to stick to a schedule.
|
The
time management skills that I have, have been developed throughout my years
of education. I have always kept to list making and when I stick to it, I am
successful. Whereas when I become careless I can get behind and struggle to
keep on top of things. My blog work in college is good example of how important it is for me
to keep to plans.
|
Keeping
Calendars
|
3- Luckily I have a good
memory when it comes to dates, as I do not have a calendar. This is something
I will have to invest in if I am going to become a freelance performer or go
into the industry. This is important as I will need to remember lots of important
dates that I do not have in common with others around me, this independence
is not something I am currently used to.
|
My
confidence in remembering dates is a natural skill.
|
Teamwork
|
4- In a team, I
naturally take a leadership/creative ideas role, meaning I am always
contributing ideas. If I am not as confident in a new group of people
however, this can let me down. I need to improve on my general socializing
skills in order to establish relationships with new people in situations such
as auditions and workshops.
|
My
team working skills have always been important in my education, I need to be
able to create pieces quickly and work with anyone and everyone at all times.
Also in my dance out of school and college, needing to choreograph and
practice in groups. When I was younger I had a lot of confidence issues and
always found these things challenging, now, this is something I am glad of as
I always looked up to people with the confidence to lead and contribute and I
now know how to do this well.
|
Social
Networking
|
4- Maintaining my social
networking sites for my professional actors accounts is something I enjoy, I
have an Instagram account with regular updates of my projects and past works.
I am yet to create a Facebook and Titter account as I use these less for my
personal accounts. My website is still in the creating process.
|
Social
networking is something I do for my personal life, making it much easier to
use for my professional accounts. I know what kinds of hashtags to use to get
attention from the right people. My bio has my contact info, my playing age
(14-24) and where I am located. This means agents can look at my account and
get the necessary information they need if they would be interested in me.
|
Emailing
|
3- When emailing people,
I find I am more than capable of being formal enough and being able to
determine the seriousness of the message. I often find myself postponing
replying to important emails such as audition offers and meeting arrangements.
I need to start to reply as soon as I get them.
|
I
feel my level of confidence in sending formal emails stems from one of my
units last year, Performing Arts Business, in which we studied how to create
a theatre company and the complications of being an industry professional. Getting
in contact with professional companies gave me the confidence and
introduction to this in a situation in which I could make mistakes and learn
from them.
|
Not
Procrastinating /Motivation/Self-Discipline
|
2- This is something I really
need to improve on. I lack the self-encouragement to get things done in time
and efficiently. I need to learn to stick to the schedules I create for
myself and get things done when they need it instead of leaving it to the
last minute. However, when it comes to rehearsals I can often keep on task with
ease, being focused on something like this is a lot easier than writing for
me.
|
This
is something I have always had, I am improving my motivation with target
setting for myself and telling others about my deadlines, keeping them in my
brain better.
|
Prioritising
|
5- Listing my tasks in
order of importance is something that I do regularly, I am a visual learner,
therefore being able to see my tasks in colour on paper makes things a lot
easier for me.
|
Ordering
my tasks in level of priority so that I get the most urgent things done the
quickest is a skill I have developed through trial and error. There are some
tasks I know that take longer than others for me.
|
Keeping
to Deadlines
|
3- As much as I keep to
my deadlines best I can, I often end up doing some of it at the last minute,
I work best under pressure but I need to start my work earlier on than I do
now.
|
Working
under pressure is a skill that I value considering my hopeful career path. I
may have to create things in a short amount of time and I will be able to
maintain calmness well throughout.
|
Target
Setting
|
4- Setting targets for
myself has become my way of motivating myself I have found that If I set my
own targets and goals I am much more likely to complete them. Working at my
own pace like this keeps me calm and I get a better sense of achievement after.
|
This
has developed over time, I have tried many forms of target setting and ways
to be motivated and I have found this worked the best throughout college coursework,
line learning, choreography and in my personal life.
