Summary

Having been made redundant in August 2020 due to covid and a major downsizing in Oceania Aviation, I have been working seasonal jobs since, and am happy to continue working in seasonal work, or find a job with a good company that values my experience and skills. For long term family reasons, I have moved up to Northland. I am keen to work in an organisation where a good work attitude is appreciated, and a professional and friendly attitude prevails.
