Summary
I am a recent school leaver wanting to secure employment in the Farming Industry, specifically Sheep and Beef Farming.
Through my work experience, schooling and sport, I believe I have many of the skills that would make me a valuable team member for any future employer - strong work ethic, honesty, teamwork, a good attitude and a sense of humour.
I am a quick learner ready to improve my knowledge, take on new challenges and responsibilities and gain new skills.

I was expected to work hard, be trustworthy, work unsupervised and as part of a team, have good time management and a high standard of physical fitness. I also learned that communication is essential in learning a new job, not hesitating to ask the right questions to ensure tasks were completed safely and correctly. I was expected to report back to Scott throughout the day and to use my initiative and problem solving skills whilst completing tasks.
