Summary

I am considered an incredibly personable young man who is gregarious and able to get on well with the vast majority of people. I currently work in a busy retail environment where I am able to complete multiple tasks and am always available to help customers. I am efficient and hardworking and will always ensure I meet any deadline that is given to me. I have had experience in an office environment as a junior estimator during the summer where I had to execute a variety of different tasks to deadline. I am proficient in multiple software and Microsoft programmes; I have particular skill in AutoCAD and Microsoft excel. I pride myself in my exceptional timekeeping and attendance, throughout my time at school, I have not missed a single day and have never been late. I am incredibly reliable and endeavour to always make myself available if anyone needs help or to cover a shift at work. During my time at school I had the privilege of being an prefect where I prided myself in being a role model for the younger pupils in the school. As part of my roles as school prefect, I was able to work effectively as part of a team – both leading and following instruction whenever the role required. My strong communication skills and excellent interpersonal skills made working with others a true delight and we were able to arrange many activities and events for our school. I am a kind and mannerly person and take great pride in being kind and welcoming to others. This is what I would say is my greatest attribute and would allow me to easily slot into any work environment.
