Summary
I am a self-motivated enthusiastic individual, who aims to succeed at any task allocated. I pride myself on my good work ethic, and approach all tasks willingly. I have excellent computer skills and would welcome the opportunity to utilise these further. I value honesty and integrity and believe I bring both qualities to the work place. I understand the need to be accurate and professional in a labour intensive business environment and am therefore very safety conscious. I believe I am a hard worker and a loyal employee. I am seeking a practical role where I can use the skills and abilities that I have acquired during my working career.
