This was my first part-time job.

During this time I again learnt many life skills such as:

• Followed established procedures for handling special cleaning solutions in order to protect self and others from harm.
• Removed rubbish, kept bin area clean and orderly.
• Actively contributed towards keeping cooking areas pest-free through regular cleaning duties.
• Assisted chefs in food preparation for efficient meal service.
• Worked under pressure during peak times without compromising on quality of work delivered.
• Completed deep cleaning tasks as instructed by supervising chef or manager.
• Swept and mopped floors at end of shifts to ensure tidy workspace next day.
• Maintained high standards of cleanliness by washing kitchen equipment and utensils.

This work experience period was provided to me by my secondary school, Vista Academy at the end of year 10.

In this period I was working as an apprentice engineer. In the factory I assisted my colleagues enthusiastically to maximize my learning opportunities.

Some skills I developed during this time were:

• Managed multiple projects, ensuring timely completion and high-quality work.
• Becoming more confident working with a team in order to work more effectively.
• Fostering effective communication amongst the team.
• Oversaw engineering systems to meet performance and safety requirements.

Overall my introduction to working life was very positive as I had a great time and got to do something I'm very passionate about.
