Summary

Self-employed experience brings ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy, and strong customer service skills. Detail-oriented teamwork jobs provide me strong organisational skills. The previous working experiences allowed me to be trained on the job how to utilise different machinery. The past jobs often required working alone where I was required to use initiative and direction to effectively solve the task at hand.
