Summary
I am a keen young individual that is hoping to gain the experience that I need to develop in your company and in the end, use the money I earn to fuel my passion of boating. I am a hardworking individual and willing to work the hardest I can ensure that all the tasks given and required are met to the best of my ability. I understand the meaning of discipline, and this was gained from my time in the RAF Air Cadets where I learnt all the needs of life but also the importance of discipline, communication, and collaboration as well.I have a good knowledge and understanding of working in stressful and very time constricting with sticking to deadlines. As well I know from my previous jobs how to listen and adapt the ways that I do my work based on feedback from my supervisor(s) to ensure that I gain the best result in what I am doing.
