About me

To whom it may concern.


A little about myself.

I am a fit able and motivated worker, I have spent the vast majority of my working life outdoors in all weather conditions preforming physical tasks and a potential employer will find me extremely resilient.

My career has seen me work with and around a broad section of the community and I get along well with people and am well versed when it comes to accepting and working alongside challenging peoples.

In my leisure time I like to keep myself active and challenged wether it be teaching myself a new skill, like recently welding or climbing a mountain, I am as eager to learn from others with skills as I am to learn from myself in isolated places.

I am a non smoking bachelor with an adult daughter who no longer lives with me, I am in the process of selling my home in Beechworth and move to Melbourne and be closer to her and other family.

Having no permanent commitments such as a partner or pets plus my attitude and ethics, I feel like I would be well suited to the position you are offering and hope you will consider me for the role.


Sincerely

Ben
