At Te Tamormorenui Limited, I provided administrative support for pest control operations, ensuring the smooth coordination of activities and documentation. This includes maintaining records from other employees out there in the field and to input there data into a computer system to keep records for the company to be able to see and that all employess are able to be payed in time.

Wool handling is also another sector in Agriculture industry. This job was fast paced and very physical which involved me in working in a team of up to at least 10 other workers. This means I was working with the wool and sorting it into different wool types that the farmer wanted. In this job it involved me going around to various farms and meeting different farmers around the Taranaki area which I then made good friendships with. I know this would be a good value to bring to Farmlands as I am a familiar face to some of the current Farmlands customers.

As a Shepherd at Pohuetai Farms, I first became a casual employee worker for at least 3 years and as I gained more experience over those years I was offerd the full time job. As a shepherd I learnt many things about the agriculture sector including working as a team as there were over 7 other employees plus casual workers on the farm. Other things were like animal health, animal husbandry, working dogs, and the best animal products or tools that I used in the farming industry. As I have experience in the farming sector I know I would be a good value to Farmlands and would bring good knowlege from my past and future experiences.
