Summary
As a recent graduate, I am seeking an opportunity where I can contribute my strong work ethic, reliability, and positive attitude. Following the seasonal closure of the Fairlie Swimming Pool, where I worked as a Lifeguard and Swimming Instructor, I am looking for temporary employment before I join the Royal New Zealand Air Force in September. Although my time in the role would be temporary, I am committed to giving 110% effort, as I have consistently done through my involvement in netball, swimming, school, and work.
