CAREER OBJECTIVE

I am currently seeking full time work that will allow me to expand my employment experience in Australia and

provide long term stability for me and my young family. Until the birth of our daughter in May 2010, I have been

studying International Relations with a Major in Mandarin at the University of Queensland, Brisbane. As I am

currently on a Partner Temporary Resident Visa, awaiting my acceptance as a Permanent Resident in Australia, I am

not able to complete my studies until 2015 at the earliest. Until then, I wish to achieve my ultimate potential in a

team environment, by utilising my organisation and customer service skills. I enjoy dealing with people and helping

them with both their concerns and requests; this is best demonstrated by the high level of maturity and integrity in

my work.

I have a very strong work ethic and adapt to change with ease as I am capable and motivated to do my best in any

situation. With my advanced computer and administration skills, I will be an asset to future employers.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

ST. OLAV’S HOSPITAL, TRONDHEIM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

AUG 2012 – MAR 2013

LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION OFFICER / PORTER

Building upon my experience gained at the P.A.H. Brisbane, I commenced work in

a multi-disciplinary pilot project merging the Logistic Department and Porterage

Services at St. Olav’s Regional University Hospital. As an Officer of these two

departments, my position demanded the ability and flexibility to work in-between

roles, tackling both logistical planning and transportation orders of Theatre Stock,

Departmental wares, as well as traditional Porterage Services pertaining to patient

care, emergency alerts, helicopter dispatch, and morgue duties. My time spent at St.

Olav’s has been very rewarding and I feel I have grown much in experience due to

the challenges overcome in the past 7 months. I feel I have been given a greater and

much deeper understanding of the structures and systems that govern hospital

operations in general that I hope to build on in my future.

PRINCESS ALEXANDRA HOSPITAL

JAN 2011 – AUG 2012

THEATRE SUPPORT OFFICER / CCL SUPPORT OFFICER / PORTER

Working for the P.A.H. has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my

working career. Being a part of a greater team of staff dedicated to caring for

patients has truly expanded my respect for the Health System as a whole, as well as

giving me a greater understanding of the operations of a hospital environment. My

position consisted of providing operational support within Operating Theatres

ranging from cleaning duties, patient handling and care, to porterage related tasks

outside of Theatres. I also worked for the Cardiac Catheter Laboratories for a period

of 10 months. It has proven to be a challenging but very rewarding career so far and

I look forward to expanding my experience within Queensland Health or Private

Health care within Australia in the future.

ACUG

JULY 2010 – JAN 2011

CONTRACTOR/LABOURER

ACUG is a company which contracts staff to different sites around Brisbane. The

duties involved include manual labour, heavy lifting (15 + tonnes per day) and

requires excellent physical strength. Being able to attend different sites at various

times on late notice is essential and as a result I am familiar with the requirement

for immediate attendance when requested. Due to the nature of the work and as a

result of the recent floods, the hours per week vary between none and 50+ and this

does not provide me with the long term stability I am seeking.

TRIUMPH INTERNATIONAL

JUNE 2010 – JULY 2010

WAREHOUSE STORES PERSON

Immediately following the birth of my daughter, I was fortunate to gain a temporary contract with Triumph International,

located in Brisbane. The position was available as a result of a significant backlog of labouring work at their warehouse

that needed to be completed as a matter of urgency in order to have their stores fully stocked. I was able to utilise my

strength when attending to stock movements and my organisational skills when dealing with incoming stock and despatch

systems.

PIZZA CAFÉ UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND

JUL 2007 – DEC 2007

CUSTOMER SERVICE

When I first arrived in Australia to study at the University of Queensland I gained employment with the on campus Pizza

Café. The role required cash handling experience and a high level of hygiene practice as we were responsible for food

service. While an invaluable experience, I came to realise after my first semester that my heavy study load did not allow

me to continue with the employment.

FOKUS BANK ASA, TRONDHEIM, NORWAY

FEB 2006 – JUN 2007

MAINTENANCE OPERATOR/ TECHNICIAN

In my hometown of Trondheim Norway, I was employed with one of the largest banks in Scandinavia. My position

encompassed many facets of the organisation and this resulted in many of my various skills being utilised. Not only was I

responsible for general customer and staff service, I was involved with transportation and moving services, including

warehouse and branch logistics. Also, my strength and labouring skills were utilised during the rehabilitation and redesign

of many bank branches locally and throughout the state.

NR.4 MIDDLE SCHOOL, XINYU, JIANGXI PROVINCE, CHINA

SEP 2005 – JAN 2006

FOREIGN ENGLISH TEACHER (TOEFL)

This position was an invaluable experience and greatly influenced my future career ambitions. I was responsible for

teaching English to Chinese Children. It was a very challenging position with approximately 800 students under my

supervision and it proved to be life changing. It enabled me to further develop my strong communication skills while

cultivating important teaching skills. This experience also gave me the opportunity to better understand and appreciate the

difficulties other foreign cultures may face.

KEY STRENGTHS AND ATTRIBUTES

Excellent written and verbal communication skills Punctual & well presented

Organised and able to multi task to complete work Strong work ethic

Understanding of OH&S codes and practices Motivated & responsible

Commitment to providing quality customer service Enjoys new challenges

Highly developed democratic leadership skills Great interpersonal skills

While English is my first language, I was born in Sweden to a Swedish father and Norwegian mother. I am fluent

in several Scandinavian languages, and am currently learning and enhancing my skills in Chinese (Mandarin). I

also speak, at a basic level, several other European languages. Hence, my communication skills are highly

advanced and will be an asset to future employers.

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

2007 ONGOING UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND

Strategic Studies; focusing on Terrorism & Insurgency, more specifically Counter
