Summary
I am hard working & fast at learning new skills. I do well in fast-paced environments and try to help out wherever I can. I have worked in hospitality for over 7 years and I am looking to grow in a different industry. I have a strong work ethic and am willing to obtain any qualifications necessary for the role. I am hoping to start employment in a hands-on industry such as truck driving or civil construction. I am willing to obtain a forklift license and a medium-rigid or heavy-rigid license if the job requires.
