About me:

Candidate Info :
Eager to obtain regular, stable employment (have been casually employed for the past 10 years as a tipper/water cart driver). My short term goal is to save to gain my MC licence and forklift ticket. I have a wide range of experience on Queensland Rail sitees, civil sites and private sites.

Worked As Signals Operator at RAAF from January 1981 to October 2003
1981-2003 RAAF

Signals Operator (Data entry and communications)
After passing recruit training I underwent another 12 months of trade training. On completion of trade training I volunteered for, and achieved the following:
Reporter/Analyst (Junior)
– Drafting military intelligence reports (both hand and type written and researched by me)
– Researching historical information for inclusion in reports to support analytical comments
Reporter/Analyst (Senior)
– More complicated/in-depth reporting and analysis, including managing specific projects
– Drafting and (verbally) presenting daily intelligence briefings for senior staff, including visiting foreign military officers
– Liaising with (then) Coastwatch staff and Federal Police

HIGHLIGHT
Developed a standard briefing and reporting format specifically to suit Headquarters Northern Command requirements that was implemented throughout the Command.
Career Manager. Career managers (CM) collect and collate posting and promotion goals of all airmen in specific trade streams Non-technical trades were managed by staff outside of the individual trade thus requiring the CM to learn about the complexities of a completely different trade whilst actually performing CM duties.
. The data is then mapped against Defence requirements and used to complete a posting plot for, in my case, up to some 680 personnel. During this role I:
– was selected through a rigorous selection process to fill a voluntary role as an Airman Career Manager
– utilised the computer daily, particularly Word and Excel to maintain staff data
– maintained significant levels of contact (face-to-face, email, and phone) with staff of all levels up to and including Unit Commanders, as well as with senior public servants and civilians.
– was responsible for drafting and presenting information for formal briefings during annual CM visits to all Units and staff
– conducted one-on-one interviews with airmen (and sometimes their spouses)
– worked to extremely strict and tight deadlines
