Summary

On taking the decision to leave school recently I am extremely dedicated on securing a full time job and career in the Lochaber area.


I am puntcual, hardworking, friendly, I work well with others and also as part of a team. I enjoy interacting with customers and members of the public and I am keen to expand my experience and learn new skills.


I enjoy art and design and I am looking to continue my further education part time in a college course in the near future.


I currently live with my parents in Kinlochleven and will be looking to gain additional independence when I turn 17 next month in obtaining my driving license.


For the time being I will be reliant on the local bus service which can see me available in Fort William from 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and also returning to Kinlochleven on the 9pm bus if a job role required this.
