PERSONAL PROFILE
Throughout my career as a machine operative I have gained many transferable skills. My
experience as a production worker means that I am used to working quickly and to targets
whilst having a keen eye for details. As a flexible worker I am able to work a variety of hours,
days or nights and would be able to work overtime when required. I have an excellent
attendance record and learn new skills quickly. I have good communication skills and
experienced in working as part of a team or independently using initiative.
