ELIJAH CHAFFEY
Summary
Even though a portion of my childhood was spent travelling and living in nine different third-world countries, most of my 18 years was spent on the family's cattle and horse farm in Queensland where I had the privilege of learning many practical farming skills including machinery and mechanics, basic electricals, farm and stock management and renovating houses. Since the age of 14 I have maintained casual employment while homeschooling which allowed me greater flexibility in working more. The feedback received from my employers was that they considered me to be capable, hardworking, punctual, efficient, and reliable. These past four years have seen the gaining of valuable skills such as training and leadership, development of critical thinking skills and understanding the power of teamwork. Last year saw the completion of yr 12 along with certifications of a White Card, CPR & LVR. I have my manual provisional license as well as reliable transport and am available for an immediate start.
