Summary
After working as a Chef for almost 10 years, I have recently made the decision to change career paths.
I have acquired my own car last year and after continuously working on it, have found myself increasingly drawn to the automotive industry.
Previously working in various kitchens gave me the ability to operate in highly pressured environments while keeping quality and efficiency at a maximum.
Currently completing Certificate II in Automotive Vocational Preparation to give me a stronger understanding of what it takes to be a mechanic so I can be a more effective employee within the workplace from the go.
