Name

Daniel Shepherd

What is/are your dream job(s)?

What do you have to do to start working in that industry?

I would love to do 3D Modelling for a video games company. To achieve this I would have to keep practicing using the software to enhance my skills and become better at 3D modelling and to build up my portfolio to help increase the chances of an employer picking me over my competitors.

What skills do you possess now?

Don’t list your qualifications as they are on you CV. Talk about what you did within those subjects that you’re good at and enjoyed.

A personal skill of mine is that I can learn new things rather quickly, for example one of my best subjects was Music-tech. I learned how to use the software with ease quickly and with limited help. I also enjoyed mathematics as it gives your brain a challenge and is rather easy to pick up quickly. I may not have got an amazing grade in this subject but I did enjoy doing it. Science was also a subject I enjoyed to do well, Physics and Chemistry however I did not enjoy Biology.

What personal interests and hobbies do you have or have had in the past?
Films Listening to music Video Games Socialising	Sports Travel
However uninteresting you may think your interests are, even if you’ve not taken them very far, put them down.
I haven't got to many hobbies but my main one is Video Games. The video games I play are very competitive. Another hobby that I enjoy doing is tennis. It is something I don't do often but I have always loved to play it. I used to play a multitude of instruments varying from the violin, guitar and I played the drums. I stop learning how to play these instruments due to it costing a lot to get the lessons needed to advance.
