Job related skills
During past 12 years at the Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences student feedback has been collected by my employer in every course and training session I have had. According to feedback I have excellent pedagogical and coaching skills. I have also good ability to work under pressure.
Information processing: Proficient user
I can use advanced search strategies (e.g. using search operators) to find reliable information on the internet. I can use web feeds (like RSS) to be updated with content I am interested in. I can assess the validity and credibility of information using a range of criteria. I am aware of new advances in information search, storage and retrieval. Ι can save information found on the internet in different formats. I can use cloud information storage services.
Content Creation: Proficient user
I can produce or modify multimedia content in different formats, using a variety of digital platforms, tools and environments. I can use advanced formatting functions of different tools (e.g. mail merge, merging documents of different formats, using advanced formulas). I know how to apply licences and copyrights.
Communication: Proficient user
I actively use a wide range of communication tools (e-mail, chat, SMS, instant messaging, blogs, micro-blogs, social networks) for online communication. I can create and manage content with collaboration tools (e.g. electronic calendars, project management systems, online proofing, online spreadsheets). I actively participate in online spaces and use several online services (e.g. public services, e-banking, online shopping). I can use advanced features of communication tools (e.g. video conferencing, data sharing, application sharing).
Problem solving: Proficient user
I can solve almost all problems that arise when using digital technology in Learning. I can choose the right tool, device, application, software or service to solve (non-technical) problems. I am aware of new technological developments. I understand how new tools work. I frequently update my digital skills.
Safety: Proficient user
I frequently check the security configuration and systems of my devices and/or of the applications I use. I know how to react if my computer is infected by a virus. I can configure or modify the firewall and security settings of my digital devices. I know how to encrypt e-mails or files. I can apply filters to spam e-mails. To avoid health problems (physical and psychological), I make reasonable use of information and communication technology. I have an informed stance on the impact of digital technologies on everyday life, online consumption, and the environment.
Communication and organisational skills
I have excellent communication and organisational skills. I’m social, talkative, cooperative and have also a good humour, which helps a lot when dealing with people. As a team leader I trust my colleagues and give a lot of responsibility to the members of my team. In my experience it makes the cooperation more effective and reliable in every way.
