7. MANAGEMENT SKILLS

Cases of application for the job market

Imagine that you need to illustrate your strengths in the workplace. If
management skills are one of them your response could look like one

of these cases:

A.

As a seasoned construction worker, I am responsible for managing a team
of workers on a large-scale hotel accommodations project. My strong
management skills are evident in my ability to create detailed project

schedules and assign everyday tasks efficiently.

I'm good at making detailed project plans. I break down big projects into
smaller tasks so that everyone on the team knows what they need to do
and when it needs to be done. This helps us work efficiently and get

things done. I also make sure that each team member is doing their part
to move the project forward.

I carefully analyse where to use our resources, making sure the right tools

and materials are available when each group of workers needs them. This
prevents delays and keeps everything running smoothly. When

unexpected problems come up, like bad weather or not enough materials,
I handle it well. I quickly figure out what to do, make backup plans, and
talk with the team to keep the project on schedule.

My management skills directly affect
how well the project goes. By sticking to

the schedule and making sure the work is
top-notch, I make sure the project gets

done on time and doesn't cost more
than it should. Because I motivate and

guide my team well, we get more done
and do it more efficiently, making the
project even more successful.
