Derek Donnelly

Perth,WA

Summary

I arrived in Australia on 31st October 2014 along with my wife and (then 7-year-old) son, Initially I was on my wife’s 457 visa but attained permanent residency status as of 5th January 2018. As my wife is a nurse and shift worker my principal job has been to look after my son and I must say it has been the best job (thus far) that I’ve experienced. In addition, I have worked part time since September 2015 as a self-employed sole trader carrying out window and solar panel cleaning to both domestic and commercial clients in the South Metro area. However, the majority of my work experience has been in office environments, and I have wide experience of communicating with people from all walks of life (from people convicted of crimes dealing with alcohol & substance abuse issues to Sheriff Court officers & Judges). I am approachable, easy going and down to earth with lots of enthusiasm and drive towards completing any task that I face. I feel the time is right to make a return to full time employment now that my son has completed primary school, and my immigration status is secure.
