James Turner
Blue Bay NSW,NSW
Summary
I am a dependable and hardworking individual who will strive under pressure and remain calm and collected when challenged. Communication and overall social skills are areas I will exceed in, the ability to obtain what is required from consultants, clients and other stakeholders. Understanding the areas I excel and not being afraid to request the assistance of others more knowledgeable then myself when a situation requires it.
I find motivation in the opportunity to add value to an already successful business that will recognise and reward my efforts and value the relationships built. I see my potential being met when surrounded by collaborative individuals who assist my development and trust in my skills when required.
