Which do you consider more valuable? Formal education or skills and why? I believe that formal education is very important in terms of getting yourself noticed by companies who are looking for certain criteria. However, I also feel that experience is vital in order to obtain the necessary skills in a job. I think that both areas are of equal importance. Describe the benefits of working with others In my experience, I have always taken joy out of working as part of a larger team. Firm friendships develop that will hold you in good stead for the rest of your life. When things go well and you are part of a team everybody feels good. Describe the benefits of working alone Sometimes, depending on the project, it is easier to work on your own. You get your own ideas across, without interruption. However, there are also a lot of bad things, as when you work on your own all of the pressure of any task is firmly left on your shoulders. What was your worst working experience? I think the worst experience is when you can't find a job. What is the most important lesson you have learnt throughout your career? Patience with other people and also patience with myself.
