PersonalSummary
I am a dedicated professional currently living in South Africa
I have completed my Electrical trade in South Africa and have working experience in both electrical high and low
voltage as well as mechanical maintenance and installations. Work experience as a junior Electrical Fitter, master
electrical fitter and as a quality assurer.
I take much pride in my work and I always guarantee the best quality work by working fast and efficiently. I am
hard working and dedicated. I don't mind working overtime or shifts if needed. I work very well with others and I
always give of my best. Whilst studying I was one of the top students in my class, and now even at work I have
been given responsibilities that most young professionals in my position don’t have. I always strive at being good
at my career through building on skills and experience. I am very trustworthy and an honest person, I always take
responsibility for my own actions.
I enjoy the work that I do, and I believe that it is the reason why I am good at my job. I am a perfectionist in my
skills and I have a lot of experience and knowledge to give and to make a success of any task I receive.
I’m very reliable and put 100% into any given task, I am a fast learner and work hard. I’m a peoples person and
love interacting with people of different cultures and backgrounds. I am a team player but more than often end up
leading the team. I’m the go to person when problems arise, at work and outside of work, not because I let people
walk over me but because I love helping where I can and most of all I’m a problem solver. I work hard and I am a
fair person. I care for others and their interests.
I enjoy the outdoors, mainly camping, fishing, sports and I often try to cook. I enjoy these because I can share
these activities with my family because they are very important to me. I am dedicated in everything that I do.
One of my motto’s in life is:
‘Don’t just be someone that says they’re going to do something, go and do it!’
In other words, be a person of action, not just someone that speaks about things. I am such a person. I take
everything in life with a positive attitude and I’m driven for success.
