Andrew MacDonald

Smithfield,SA

Summary

My name is Andrew MacDonald, i am 41 years of age i have two children and have been in the work force on and off for the last 21 years. i started my career as a butcher and worked in the industry for 15 years. I have also worked in foundries and done several labouring jobs over the years. In the last year or so i have decided to move away from butchering and would like to get back into some more physical construction type work. i am currently employed as a yard hand however the work has dried up so i am looking to start something more stable. I am a reliable hard worker, and i tend to excel in any position i am put into. I am used to early starts and long days and i feel i would be an asset to any company i i am involved with. I thank you for your consideration and i look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

regards Andrew MacDonald.
