Skills and Experience
My education is a valuable asset from which I have benefited greatly. But more important than any
specific skills I have acquired, I have a great deal of self-confidence and a powerful intellect. Thanks to
these qualities I have acquired and will continue to develop a wide range of skills and abilities as
required. Some of these include:
Projects undertaken at university have given me a first hand introduction to problem solving,
working to deadlines and working in teams. I have participated in the annual Neemrana dialogue of
academics and journalists from India, Pakistan and China concerning regional conflict resolution
and nuclear non-proliferation issues.
I have high level of competence in working with computers. I have experience of working with DOS,
Windows 9x, 2K, XP and, Unix and have worked extensively with MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel and
Access. Im a very experienced Internet user, both in creating and publishing web content and
conducting online research. My web site is http://www.knowledgepolicy.com
