PROFILE
My objectives are to further my working career and to undertake any in-house training for
advancement if and when these opportunities arise. I need new challenges in my
working career and a possible chance to further utilise and strengthen my positive, open
and innovative personality, with fast learning and excellent communication skills and a
willingness to go that one step further.
I am experienced in dealing with people across many different, and sometimes very
challenging, situations and hence have acquired strong interpersonal skills, to which I
would also like to maintain and build upon.
