2)

Use a range of communication skills and knowledge to support own

progression goals

Undertake the following tasks

If you are NOT producing a UCAS Personal Statement because you do not intend to
go to university, complete Task B and C. Students applying for university should
undertake all tasks

A. Upload your completed UCAS Personal Statement aimed at a specific Creative

Media production course to your Weebly page for this assignment (if not yet
complete, submit what you have written so far by the stated Task deadline for your
group).

B. Communication Skills for Interviews

Identify five possible questions which could be asked of you at an interview – and
what might your response be to each one? You can choose between a university
interview and a job/apprenticeship interview (you might find that some questions
can overlap both a university interview and a job/apprenticeship interview). There are
links in the Progression section on Moodle to help you with this.

Identify five possible questions you might wish to ask at an interview – and why?
Again, you can choose between a university interview and a job/apprenticeship
interview. There are links in the Progression section on Moodle to help you with
this.

What is your biggest weakness?

I always strive to create the best work I possibly can which can quite often mean
pushing myself to over exceed in a way that can be quite a challenge. Because of
this I set my work at a high standard and am not always happy with the end result.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Travelling the world in a van that I’ve built creating art as a freelance illustrator.

What did you enjoy about your college course?

Getting creative again, drawing again and learning so many new things that have
helped me to create more and new things.

Main interests?
Drawing
Gaming (new)
Dogs (psychology/behaviour)
TV/Animation
Nature/hiking
Why did you choose UWE?
The vast range of options, when I visited the open day the uni looked like it had so
much to offer in the way of creative freedom and many friendly technicians that I can
learn new skills from.
I’m very excited to learn book binding.

What advice would you give me leaving home and starting Uni?
Will I be encouraged to experiment and try out a new range of mediums for my
work?
How easy and accessible is it for me to use the uni to my full advantage and learn a
new skill separate to my course like metal work?
What other opportunities will become available to me if I am accepted onto the
course? (abroad trips)

C. Rate your abilities in the following communication skills. Do this by giving

yourself a mark out of ten (one being lowest, ten being highest).
