• This involved stacking shelves, cleaning, assisting customers, doing stock takes and packing confectionary

• I have docked lambs, help muster stock and possum trapped on Koranga Station
• This was hard work in an outdoor environment which included lots of team work as well as, learning to be resourceful and efficient

• I gained work experience poisoning willow trees, spraying blackberry and planting hundreds of native wetland plants
• These all were to improve the health of the wetland ecosystem and improve water quality
• These jobs involved hard physical work with long hours which taught me to manage my time well, be practical all while bettering the environment
• It also involved communicating with land owners and the community which helped improve my people skills

I have worked for Riverspace ltd on environmental restoration and protection projects, which have included the control of pest plants and pest animals. a day at this job could have covered many different activities such as maintaining bait stations, GPS navigation, planting native trees, spraying pest plants, as well as working alongside and supervising other contractors working towards a common goal.

Along with these tasks, i also had to manage health and safety risks, communicate and work closely with local land owners and council staff, organise team members and ensure work was completed to a high standard, on time.

All of this has provided me with many skills such as clear communication, time management, attention to detail, navigation skills and, an appetite for hard work.

This included serving customers, stacking shelves, balancing cash registers, stock take and making orders for the shop.

These responsibilities helped develop my people skills and taught me to be patient with customers, it also improved my communication in a professional environment and taught me to deal with conflict professionally.
