My role at AB Equipment was a Tyre Fitter, mainly focused on distribution and installation of solid and pneumatic tires for heavy machinery in warehouses, car yards, airports etc.

Some of the key responsibilities I had whilst at AB were :

• Removing old tires and installing brand new Continental tyres on machines, ensuring smooth operation and safety.
• Inspect, repair and patch any damaged tyres to make sure they are up to safety standards
• Operating a 7t + jack , powertools, handtools, hydraulic press machine, counterbalance and reach truck daily, in the warehouse and on customer sites.
• Providing excellent customer service with tyre options, pricing, and maintenance most suitable for the customer
• Managing inventory, assisting in keeping a organized and efficient stock system.

• I worked as a Steel worker as my first full time job after leaving school. I worked for my Uncle and his company and we were building a new hospital big enough for medical support to the entire region and a Heli-pad for accidents that take place near or on Mt Taranaki. I worked in a team of 8 as a laborer which meant pre-building structures to be installed on the building, always making sure my team had enough bolts and batteries, safely stropping up steel to the crane and successfully guiding the operator where he needs to go. This wasn't a long job but I learnt many valuable skills from my time here such as working as a team to achieve a goal, taking initiative, how to dog a crane and more.

This was was first ever job as soon as I turned 16 at KFC. I started as a FoH employee where I learnt how to speak and interact with customers in a friendly and professional manner. I improved my math skills by handling cash payments or operating the POS machine. I learnt important food health and safety that ensured my safety and the customers when serving their food. After a year I became a cook where I learnt in more detail about cross contamination and safe food practices, and also time management skills making sure there was enough product in peak hours.

• Maintained a clean and sanitary workspace, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
• Prepared meals efficiently under time constraints for timely service during peak hours.
• Demonstrated strong multitasking skills, managing multiple orders simultaneously without sacrificing quality or presentation.
• Maintained clean and organized work areas at all times to bring safety and quality to food preparation process.
