Summary
My volunteering positions both with the Army Cadets and Oxfam demonstrates my ability to be punctual, professional and motivated within a work environment.
I can evidence this through attending army cadet camps consistently and weekly training sessions on time and in an enthusiastic manner. Which has resulted in being promoted to the position of Cadet Lance Corporal. This has inspired and motivated me, whilst completing my GCSEs, to gain further experience in an established business and gain new skills to add to my current CV.
I am aware of my young age, however, I believe through my experiences both within my family and extracurricular activities I can prove that I am a strong, responsible individual that is also able to work in a team to achieve the best results.
