I am a hardworking and reliable 16-year-old currently finishing my GCSEs and looking to take my first steps into the world of work. I have a positive attitude, enjoy hands-on tasks, and always give 100% to whatever I’m doing. I recently completed a work experience placement at a garage where I learned the importance of teamwork, timekeeping, and good customer service. I'm confident, willing to learn, and enjoy helping others. I’m now looking for an opportunity where I can develop new skills, gain experience, and be part of a team.
