Career goals include advancing within the field of Information Technology, however would like a career change into the field of Engineering, or similar roles that involve physical work and labour as I have been mostly office based for the past 6 years and feel as though a change would be good for me. I'm willing to take on as much training as required to ensure I am sufficiently skilled to succeed and meet criteria required.
