Summary

I am applying for a role in this company for a chance to demonstrate the things I have learned during my apprenticeship, and to consistently gain more knowledge, understanding, and capability in as many forms of work regarding carpentry, building, and construction as I can.

Completing my apprenticeship through a family company taught me how to work hard, respect decisions, respect colleagues, listen to instructions and appreciate the time and effort of those who have helped me gain the skills and abilities I have developed throughout my time.

I have earned a reputation as a hard and reliable worker and I pride myself on my work ethic. My experience in previous employment shows my ability to work in a team environment as well as by myself and aligns with the skills and experience necessary for this position.
