Summary
I decided to join the The Royal Air Force. After careful consideration I have come to the realisation that the military career pathway is not suitable for me. I can communicate effectively within a team and keep calm in stressful situations. Previous work and military training has taught me how to complete complex tasks using my own initiative such as working accurately to deadlines and prioritising workloads. I feel that Wales and west utilities can offer me an exciting career and I believe that I will be an asset to your team. I currently work as a civils gang lead at Openreach
