Hi, I’m
Damon Perry
Adelaide,SA
Summary
I am hard working 23 year old Mechanic who is qualified in Light vehicle. I am a very switched on hands on person who is willing to give anything ago. I have experience in light and heavy vehicle repairs and servicing. I have good customer, phone and computer skills. I am very punctual and trying to keep busy.
I am currently looking to move to Mt Gambier to start my new chapter with my partner of 5 years. If you choose to hire me i will require a bit of time to find a property to rent for our family. Once we have secured a property i will be looking at possibly 3-4 weeks due to the fact i need 2 weeks resignation notice and 1-2 weeks moving everything from Adelaide to Mt Gambier.
My current employer does not know about me moving out of Adelaide due to a difficult situation which im willing to discuss privately. So if you cannot inform him of this I would appreciate it. I will put my workshop controller/leading hands personal phone number next to my current employers details.
I would really appreciate you assisting me starting my new chapter in life by hiring me. I hope that i can expand my skills and thrive in your company.
I look forward to hearing from you.
