Adam-James Wilkins

As a proactive and dedicated individual, I am eager to join your esteemed organization. My recent experience as a volunteer barista at a local charity-based coffee shop has equipped me with the skills to handle various responsibilities, including mastering the art of creating a wide array of specialty drinks. Prior to this, I served as a junior deckhand in the yachting industry, where I gained valuable experience in a fast-paced and demanding environment.

While there is a gap in my employment history due to health issues, they have since been fully resolved, and I am eager to re-enter the workforce with renewed enthusiasm. I am more than willing to provide medical evidence to assure you of my current health.

My diverse background and resilience in overcoming challenges make me a strong candidate for this role. I am eager to bring my skills, dedication, and positive attitude to contribute to your team's success. Thank you for considering my application.
