Summary

Through out my Working career, I have tried my hand at many different area's all of which I have enjoyed, I enjoy Working to a fast pace as I am able to maintain a level head when the pressure is on.

Working in a kitchen may seam small, however it tough me many useful qualities such as pride in my work, Working at a fast pace whilst maintaining a high quality output.

Working as a labourer was a great challenge both mentally and physically, you learn to grow a thick skin & how to endure a fast pace under extreme pressure.

Operational management was a complete U-turn to what I had done previously, here is where I learnt to step back and view problems from other peoples perspective & work as a team to come up with effective long lasting solutions.

The fast pace of a driving experience company required me to put all of my skills to use but more importantly taught me the importance of customer satisfaction

During my time at on the railway I have learnt many skills, learning to read schematics, identifying safety issues & Working to a schedule to name a few.

I enjoy new challenges as it gives me a chance to learn and grow I put my all into every new challenge presented
