Summary

After graduating high-school in 2021 I got myself ready for university at ANU since I had accepted an early entry offer with scholarships based on my year 11 results. After spending a year there I felt that it wasn't right for me at that time and so I came home to focus on family and friends and mental health. Since coming home my best friend and I have been slowly renovating his mums home and I have been helping with as many household things as I can to support her and make her daily life easier so she can worry less. I also became qualified to be a traffic controller and now I'm working on my license to make that job possible in the future. In the meantime I want to bring in more money for the family for my friend and his mum, and to start saving for our trip to Japan.

Skills

I have been learning Japanese for 7 months and in my opinion it highlights some of my strengths
Discipline: on most days i spend an hour or more studying Japanese grammar with no outside influence and no one keeping me accounted
Motivation: one of the reasons I started to learn Japanese in the first place is my long term goal to visit Japan, which is one of the reasons I want this Job, so I always think about this when I feel like doing less study

Pride: I have always made an effort to take pride in my work or almost anything I do, Japanese to me is a matter of serious dedication that won't come to me without great effort and near perfection
These skills transfer to endeavouring to make the best food or clean the most effectively or organise in the most comprehensive way I can

Relevant Hobby: Guitar

The most significant moment in playing guitar for me was when I had a deadline to learn Moonlight Sonata First Movement in only about a week for a university performance I signed up for thinking it was the following week. Every day I would go to lectures and tutorials and come home to constantly practise for about as long as I was doing school work, I would not settle for less than perfection if I could help it. By the time the event came around I did great in the performance and it was an amazing experience, it's something I look back on to remember why it's so important to try my hardest in whatever it is that I do.

Additional Information

I can walk to work because I live only about a 15 minute walk away, meaning I can come in at late notice if someone is sick for example.
The only days off I need are sundays because Sunday is when I go to the climbing gym with my friends and I try to always prioritise them when I can.
This job could help me a great deal even with low amounts of hours to work each week, any extra income would be very impactful.
During my year at uni I believe I improved my ability to talk with people and work together effectively and efficiently while still having a good time. The perfect example of this was my chemistry labs, my lab partner and I were always laughing and often leaving first because we were done the work early.
