Thomas Jays

EXETER ,Devon

Summary

My name is Tom, I'm eighteen, and I've worked in both the construction and motor trades. During my time in both fields, I've learned how important it is to have positive relationships with both customers and employees, to take initiative, to stay organized, and to be efficient with tasks. I'm seeking for a place where I can use my abilities and passion because my last job wasn't the ideal fit for me.
