Benjamin Linde
Cape Town
Summary
I am both personable and articulate, with the natural ability to connect and communicate effectively in diverse settings. After the completion of my BSocSci Degree at UCT, I can confidently attest that I possess a deep understanding of communication techniques and my conflict resolution capabilities, which is complemented by my strong analytical and problem-solving skills. The evidence for these skills can be seen through my performance within the competitive debating and chess tournament environments - as well as through my history with team management. I believe that my growth mindset, and ability to persevere through setbacks is what sets me apart from other potential employment candidates - as I continuously aim to improve upon my own performances.
