Queenscliff,Australia
Summary
I am a highly motivated and hardworking individual who tackles new projects and challenges with meticulous care. Currently working as a recruitment consultant within the construction industry here in Sydney. Originally from the UK I moved to Australia in 2019 looking for a lifestyle change and since then have had to work in jobs where I could get sponsored to stay and work in the country. However I have now secured my PR through a de facto visa (820) and do not require sponsorship for my next role. This means I am searching for a company in which I can grow and develop for the long term.
