SOFT SKILLS

Being active as a volunteer while attending to classes (physically, in the good old days) was not always an easy job, and time management was a very important skill to have. I didn’t, but I acquired it through time, and I am very proud of it. At least I got, as everybody calls it, the ability to work under pressure, and I am not afraid of it, because I feel like it keeps me out of my comfort zone and pushes me to break my limits. Another very important skill is creativity. Even if I’m talking about content creation like images and videos for social media or internal purposes for MLSA, or about applications and web design ideas for SiSC, each situation helped me express it and led to an improvement. Networking is also needed in every context and working on projects with other people for university or for the NGOs taught me that teamwork and communication are valuable skills that can ruin everything if missing, alongside positivity and humor. Volunteering has also taught me about responsibility for the tasks that I took and about adaptability and flexibility, pretty important skills that you might need in working with a lot of people with different perspectives, developing a product for the needs of a bigger project.
