Harris Fawsitt

Edinburgh, Scotland

Summary

I've a methodical approach to working, I'm self motivated, organised and complete tasks efficiently to deadlines; this is demonstrated through qualifications and University course grades to date. Communication and working well alongside others are great skills I have acquired. I take responsibilities seriously and endeavour to represent the companies I work for in a professional and positive manner. Whilst traveling Peru, I proved to be an effective contributor and was trusted to lead a team on a trek, thus demonstrating leadership and communication skills. I strongly believe I have the skill set required to become an integral part of any team.
