Summary

Over the last 12 months I have been using my spare time out of school to gain any work experience opportunity I can to expand my mindset in the employment world and expectations that it requires to succeed.


Because of my age I haven't been able to secure employment or experience that reflects towards this particular cadetship but I can demonstrate I am hard working, loyal and willing to give everything my absolute to see the best result for all.


I think I would be a great asset to Port Marlborough as it not only aligns with some of my career goals but will hopefully allow me to grow within the Maritime industry while learning and developing new skills on and near the water.
