My name is William Fleming, I'm known as Bill. I was recently employed by Morrisons for seasonal work and my contract ended this week. It was a pleasure to work for Morrisons, where I took pride in being an employee of the company. Therefore, I would like the opportunity to obtain a permanent role. I am a very hard working individual, with extremely good time keeping, as well as a good work ethic. I consider myself reliable and trustworthy. I am a good team player and I work well with others, however I am more than capable of working on my own initiative as well as following instructions. During my years of employment I have gained a great deal of knowledge and experience regarding health and safety, customer service and building positive working relationships.
