Summary
With the experience I have gained, It has taught me excellent time management skills. Patience in conflict resolution and hi stress situations. As a team leader I have learned that having strong communication skills and thinking on my feet has helped me excel in whatever task has been given to me. I am a hard worker and a fast learner, as a self - motivated person I am always interested in training and gaining further skills and qualifications.
Throughout the years of me being a first responder I sub-consciously I am aware of PPE and safe working environments at all times. Being organised and a dependable professional, I am successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude and wiling to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
