Summary
With a background in food quality assurance, I have recently relocated to Scotland for a fresh start. Since November 2024, my family and I have been actively involved in tasks such as securing a rental house, purchasing a car, and completing essential registrations like GP and NI numbers, etc. As a BNO (VISA) holder, I have the right to work in the UK without needing a work permit for the next five years. Additionally, I am determined to obtain UK citizenship in the future. Proficient in all aspects of English - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - I am diligent, friendly, patient, and eager to expand my knowledge. My ultimate goal is to find employment that supports my family and allows me to make a meaningful contribution. I have a full UK driving license that I can commute with my own car. If given any opportunity, I would be extremely grateful for your consideration. Thank you for taking the time to review my qualifications.
