Profile Summary:
I am a Year 12 student with a strong interest in trades and hands-on work, particularly fitting, welding, building, and related industries. I bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and experience balancing multiple part-time and seasonal jobs. I am looking for an opportunity to start my career in a trade-focused environment where I can continue learning and developing practical skills.
Experience:
I have gained experience across food service, horticulture, production, and childcare roles while studying. My work has included food preparation, customer service, operating and cleaning equipment, quality checking products, packaging, and orchard maintenance. I have also completed trade-related work experience in welding, boat building, plumbing, and construction environments through Gateway placements. Managing school alongside part-time and seasonal work has helped me develop reliability, initiative, communication skills, and the ability to work well within a team.
