Personal Attributes valued by employers

P1: Explain the personal attributes valued by employers (2x Attributes)

The first personal attribute that is valued by employers is Concentration. Concentration is valued by employers because it is essential to getting every single piece of work done that is thrown at you, for example in the gaming industry if you are not concentrating you could cost the company a lot of money and you could get fired. Concentration is also vital to the quality to the product, if you are not concentrating the quality of the product decreases as you are not putting 100% into your work.

The second personal attribute that is valued by employers is punctuality. Punctuality is valued by employers because it is vital that you turn up on time to a job and get the work done rather than turn up late and not bothering to do any work at all. This can also establish trust between the worker and employer as if you turn up at the right time every day, you can be trusted to be promoted and have a higher position in the company. If you do not have punctuality in the gaming industry it could mess up a whole game, for example if the textures are not done but everything else is you need to spend extra time on textures when it could have been done already.

The third attribute that is valued by employers is Written skills. Written skills are valued by employers because is it is essential that the employers can understand the work you are giving to them, if they can not understand or misread this could lead to failures in your areas of work. if you do not have Written Skills in the gaming industry it could lead to a game going off in the wrong direction, (wrong type of character personality etc.)

Past
My name is Nathan,
I have many skills and qualities that have grown in the past, for example I have good imagination that is good use in group work and helping out others in certain projects and tasks. Another skill I have that has grown is concentration, I have used it in getting good grades and it has helped me in knowing what to do in classes. Another quality I have that has grown is kindness, this has helped me in the past to get along with people in group work and get the job done. In the past my aspirations was to work in computers, as they always fascinated me.

Present
I am on a college course for Gaming and computing at Fareham College and I am on  this course because I want to gain skills concerning IT and Gaming which could help me get a job in these areas in the future. This course will also be a good opportunity to make my skills and qualities grow even further as it a change of scenery. On this course I will be able to make a game and a website, with making the game I will be interested to see how the texture side of things works, as this is interesting to me as it offers a challenge.

Future
In the future I hope to get a job in the texture side of gaming and computing as the textures department seems like a challenge and it would be interesting to see how it takes place in a proper company. In the future I have no interest into going to University as I see no point in going and I want to get a job and earn money as soon as possible.
