About me:

Candidate Info :
I started my working career in the Information and Technology Industry and completed a Bachelor of Business. After performing roles such as Computer Programmer, Business analyst, Project Management and Team Management I changed career and became an Owner/Operator of a Newsagent and then took over a transport and distribution business after relocating to the Sunshine Coast. I enjoyed all facets of running the transport business and returned to this industry a number of times as a Delivery Driver.
Also wanting to experience other industries I found employment in the fencing industry and learnt a lot. I then sought experience in sales – real estate and then customer service – call centre.
I am able to pick up new skills and already have a broad skill base. I enjoy work with a physical side to it and am looking to work either as a delivery driver (MR/HR) or warehouse.
