Wakefield,Yorkshire

Summary

WIth almost a year as a warehouse operative and 4 years as a newspaper deliverer, I've learnt that no job comes without unforseen issues and requires the development of skills that would otherwise go overlooked. I have always shown excellent puntuality and reliability to the endeavours undertaken. I am a detail-orientated and self-motivated individual with keen multitasking abilities, using initiative to complete tasks quickly, efficiently and with high degree of accuracy in a fast-paced work environment.


My background as a musician and composer has taught me the significance of communication and teamwork in order to calmly approach tasks in a high stress envrionment, namely in brass band competitions. Also, I have assembled ensembles for various performances, contributing towards Hatfield College being a nominee for the student experience award at the Global Durham University Awards.
