Summary
In my previous role as a Toolmaker, I gained hand on experience in creating and repairing precision tools and machinery. My day to day role included using lathes, milling machines, and various other equipments.
I travelled to Australia in the beginning of 2024 and had a couple job roles while over that side of the world. I worked as a labourer for 1 month which involved a lot of physical on site work, I also worked in a pub simultaneously. In my role working in the Woodvale Tavern pub I experienced working in a fast paced environment and communicating with customers. I provided friendly and courteous service. Served food with professionalism. Kept tables neat and tidy by regularly clearing away dishes, used glasses and wiping down surfaces.
