Hi, I’m
Jacob De Beurs
Salesman
Waitakere City,New Zealand
Summary
I am currently in employment as a warehouse and sales assistant manager at The Surfboard Warehouse. I have a broad range of experience and skills that I believe would be transferable to the positions available, before I worked as a guide, i worked as a commercial Beekeeper and I worked in heavy industrial environments, I enjoy some variety in my work and learning. I am looking to be closer to friends and extended family as my living situation now dictates i need a more family friendly working situation and need to have security in my work. I am hoping that I may be considered for this role as I have the attitude and drive to carry on with a future career within the company and enjoy the prospect of this type of work.
