Summary

I have over 20 years experience in Hairdressing which has had me working directly with customers, ordering stock and handling money. I have also mentored younger workers e.g apprentices. Spent some time picking and packing orders using an electric pallet jack. Most recently holding a leading role as canteen manager. I am looking for a career change, having just aquired my forklift ticket. Im seeking a casual position as a forklift operater.
