Madi Orani

I had an amazing and rewarding opportunity to be able to care for a wide variety of different animals. I assisted in preparing and delivering diets to all different animals including herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. I assisted the upkeep of the animal enclosures up to standards, making sure that the animals had a safe and clean space to live in. During my time I had chances to learn and expand my knowledge on my animal care, also having a better understanding of animal behaviours. I was able to improve on my work skills by being in a team environment with other zookeepers and volunteers.

I was working as a casual in the warehouse of Thermomix. My job included packing orders for customers and labelling products for shipment. I was able to learn and improve on my time-management, focusing to make sure everything was done in a timely manner for customers. I was surrounded in a helpful and reliable environment, it was able to help me improve on my teamwork and communication skill.

Working in the fast-food industry allowed me to improve my ability to work efficiently under pressure. I learned to prioritize tasks effectively, ensuring quick service and reduced wait times. I worked closely with a team which helped ensure everything ran smoothly during quiet and most importantly peak hour times.
