I am a 26 year old male, who is looking for new experiences and a stable job that

will allow me to grow in the company but will also allow me to grow my personal

skills and attributes. I am a considerate and caring young adult who can adapt

well in all situations, I have great time management and organisation skills but

still trying to find their niche and find their voice to push me even further to

expand on these skills. my previous experience has helped me in many ways and

helped me develop employability skills.
