Summary
Young family man seeking well paying entry level job to support my family. My skills range widely as I am computer literate, physically fit and attentive to direction and details. Seeking a change of career towards the mining industry to achieve financial stability for my two little girls. I am a fast learner, will put the time in and find ways to get the work done faster and better than the next guy. I am a first generation immigrant, having been in Australia for 13 years. I am an Australian citizen and have a full driver's license, very willing to get truck licenses for the job. I have worked 2 years as a personal trainer and have competed and trained in a number of sports/martial arts. I have worked almost 2 years in warehousing and attained a cert 3 in supply chain operations. I have also worked 2 years in sales for the same company, thus climbing the ladder. My work in the last few years has enhanced my communication skills, learning abilities and rapport-building skills. I may be green in terms of years of work but my attitude more than makes up for it.
