Nathan Zapadlo

Completed year 12 VCE. Decided to enter into the trade industry after secondary school. Completed my CERT 3 and 4 in Plumbing and Gas fitting and worked in the Plumbing industry for 7 years. Unfortunately in 2007 I was involved in a near fatal car accident in which I shattered both ankles along with other injuries. After 3 years of rehabilitation I gained employment in the food industry at a cafe as a kitchen hand for 6 months. I then decided to move into building and construction where I gained employment for a modular housing company. Starting off as a laborer and gaining an understanding of the industry I used strong leadership skills to elevate myself to leading hand after 12 months. I also gained a Dogman certification and led the rigging element of modular housing construction. Following this I entered into the Demolition industry working in a 7 ton excavator to bring down residential houses. I conducted this job for 6 years organising a team of four. After taking some time off at the beginning of covid lockdown I decided to follow my dreams to work in the Fitness industry as a personal trainer and I'm currently studying my cert 3 and 4 in Personal training through the Australian Institute of Personal Training.

While furthering my studies I believe a laboring or warehousing position would be perfect . I am strong, proactive worker that can easily adapt to any industry or role
