About me:

Candidate Info :
Hello, Being with Woolworths Logistics and warehousing for 23 yrs has given me a full range of experience from picker to management. My job function had been made redundant , so I decided to try a new avenue of work. . I enjoy a variety of hobbies some being , Restoring old cars, camping , fishing, 4wdriving , Hunting, renovating my home. I have a few injuries throughout my career but none that stop me from working. At the moment I am looking for something Part Time , but may consider permenant work.
I have good time management, able to work alone or as a team, looking at safety is a priority in my life for myself and others around me. I enjoy doing almost anything and will give anything a go. I have not been to Uni or TAFE and have learnt all that I know by watching and listening.
I have a little industrial deafness from working in loud areas over time.
My greatest achievement to date is building my own offroad caravan
Thanks
