Summary

I am looking for an employer willing to support me in my current weakness in conversational English. I have been here in Australia for three months. I currently have a bridging visa and I am waiting for my partner visa. It is definitely worth investing in me, as I am a very reliable, determined, and sales-oriented employee. Even though I have worked in agriculture for the past few years, I would like to return to my trained profession as a retail salesperson. Please give me a chance, you will not regret it.
