I personally consider skills much more of an advantage because the work is what matters to me and no amount of education teaches hard work. and problem solving skills etc, I think you learn more and gain confidence from skills you have rather than the education you had. Describe the benefits of working with others I like working as a team because I can work on much bigger jobs and they get completed faster because of more people but also because usually I get on well with people and have good social skills so it is sometimes nice to have people to bounce off of and ask questions to or they can get information from me.

What would you consider as your 'dream job'? At this moment My dream job is to get into the Fibre Optic industry in spain and basically to do what I used to do(e.g.splicing, testing running cables,civils work, working in and around comms rooms).
