Summary
I have been a Painter and Decorator since college, when I got given an apprenticeship with R&M Williams where I learnt the real world and enjoyed coming out of my shell, and to become more confident.
I enjoyed new challenges when working for Tesco's, helping me learn more about that work place and helping colleagues and customers and feel these experiences have helped me grow. And gain more confidence.
