Summary

Most of my working life has been spent in the Farming and Hospitality Industries.

Both of these industries though very different working environments actually require a very similar skill set, the main one being the ability to work with and communicate effectively with other workers.

I bring with me excellent personal communication skills,computer literacy, diligent attitude to tasks and a desire to learn and be challenged in the working environment
