Summary




the majority of my past work has been labour intensive; from berry picking to landscaping and labouring on a building site.

Needless to say all was physically demanding, requiring a level of discipline to achieve. Past work has also required attention to detail and good communication. I have created stone walls curbs etc while landscaping with a degree of aesthetic care aswell as communicating and working with a team to create a positive result.


I look Forward to having the opportunity to learn new skills.

To Whom it May Concern

It is my pleasure to right this reference for John Graham.


John Came to work for me this season in my orchard, mainly working with the berryfruit picking etc. He proved to be a very Dedicated worker, regular at coming and always on time. for first time work, he soon understood the work required, the areas and the standard I needed to present the finished product. As a student he is now looking to to other casual work and i can recommend him for what ever talk he sets himself.

Written reference for John Graham


I am writing this reference on behalf of john as his former employer. John was employed by Whittaker and Partners during various school holidays to assist with the building and renovation of a property we owned as property developers. John was responsible for a number of tasks during his time working for us which included (but was not limited to) helping the tradesmen on site, painting, cleaning and general labouring work. Throughout John's time with us he proved himself as punctual, trustworthy, flexible, careful and a diligent hard worker. He was motivated and popular with our sub-trades on site. John would be a great asset for any company that he applies for work in and has my recommendation.


If you have any further questions with regard to the work he undertook please do not hesitate to contact me.


yours sincerely.
