Patrick Dodds

I am a young motivated person looking to change my career from the building sector to a more rewarding role on the support sector. The building industry has enabled me to improve my communication skills and gain the ability to push myself to completing tasks in hand. I would really like to go on to helping young people struggling with life as I feel I can relate to them in this role. I would also like to go into customer care in retail industry.
