Formal education or skills and why? Both skills and formal education are important.Skills help you to do the practical work that you need to perform.Formal education will help you to deal with various people at different levels.Sometimes you need formal education to learn new skills if those skills are being instructed in writing you can easily learn them by following instructions..Hence the two can compliment each other so they are all important. Describe the benefits of working with others Team work is very important ,at managerial level you need to delegate work to the others to get the job done.When you work with others you also share ideas and learn from them.It is good for accountability,when you work as a team no one really would want to be blamed for a mistake or for no progress in a team.Everyone would ensure the work is perfectly done to protect their good name.It is easier to get the work done if you working with others. Describe the benefits of working alone Working alone can also have benefits in that one is accountable for everything they do.This encourages one to work hard for they know they will be specifically blamed if they do not meet the standard or the deadline.It gives you the opportunity to try new ideas without objections from the team.

Being employed to do something that is far below your skills and standards and watching people do what you can do better.You are not given the chance to perform because you were employed later than them.

What are the least interesting aspects of your field? Being helpless in the face oppressors who use power to suppress people's wishes and feelings.It is also depressing to work underground when you deal with Human rights something that should be openly be discussed-thats the situation in my country Zimbabwe at the moment. If you get your dream job what do hope to achieve? I hope to make people aware of their fundamental freedoms and have a right to claim them.I hope to work in a free environment where my work will be appreciated.
