A young bus driver looking for a change of scenery and something different. I am 24 with an undeniably strong work ethic starting my first work experience job with Myer at 16 progressing into retail with KFC, Continuing into my dream industry of public transport as first a bus mechanic and since 2021 a bus driver. Though i am young my experience is extensive i have provided service across the entire contracted region of Sydney and surrounding areas. I have and am able to work all kinds of shiftwork including late nights, mornings, splits, straights, weekends etc. My ability to adapt grows stronger as i have completely mapped each region i have worked in within a couple of months and can return at anytime with little need for assistance or direction. I have always been passionate about Transport and have always wanted to soak up as much information and experience in this industry that i can as its one of the only industries that never sleeps and is only getting larger and more diverse, There is always something new to discover in this constantly changing environment and i seek to learn as much as i can. I see myself as a valuable individual who can offer a very strong boost to your workforce with age on my side i am looking for a stable long term career in which i can grow as not just a worker but as a person. I know what its like to work your way up and hold no selfish or power hungry values i am a dedicated honest worker who just loves to do what hes passionate about and am open to climbing to ladder but will assist anybody along the way never putting myself above somebody in need.
