Summary

I am a hardworking and quite sociable individual who will take on any task eagerly. I enjoy conversations but will put my head down and get to work, whether that be independently or in a group. I pride myself in making sure that any job I've been assigned gets completed to it's fullest. My time working as a pot washer taught me how to manage time efficient and effectively. I was often asked to teach new pot washers the basics of the job and I was brought in the most during busier hours. I was repeatedly complemented for my ability to get everything done alone whilst maintaining the quality of the dishes, pots and cutlery I worked with. I've had a lot of experience with labouring on land from work I did with my Dad on some land he bought, helping transform it from a bumpy, nettle-ridden nightmare to a flat green piece of land. This experience carried onto my work for Lady Munson, functioning as a gardener on her land. I've shovelled mulch, dug up rocks, raked and assortment of things, and just recently cleaned a greenhouse, all of which I've done to the satisfaction of Lady Munson and her estate manager, Kevin. Overall, I'm willing to take on any task, learns the 'ins and outs' of the job, and present myself as a hardworking and indispensable employee.
