Summary
I started working for McDonalds during my schooling years as to gain independence and assist my family financially, however, it not being a long term option, I sought a different job opportunity in the Picker Packer industry at API where I heard they were hiring people for short term positions with the possibility to stay for longer, however, I applied towards the end of the project and was made redundant by the end of the month. My next employment was under Wagners for a two years fixed contract for the construction of the Sydney Metro Tunnel and was employed until the end of the contract where I was made redundant as there were no future projects being handled for the foreseeable future. I am hard working in whatever working environment I am in under and am flexible in regards to working hours. I am willing and able to take on added responsibilities for the good of the team and am successful in fulfilling the jobs I'm assigned to under pressure.
