Personal Statement
I am a hardworking and trustworthy individual who enjoys working in a team as well as individually. I am an excellent communicator with clients and colleagues alike. I am self motivated and always eager to learn new skills and gain the ability to teach others.

Throughout my vocational experience, I have always strived to improve on the work done by my predecessors. I feel that if I improve the efficiency of operation of my job role, learning new skills and in turn improving myself will automatically follow. This approach to work means that I remain focused on my tasks and it also means that I can put myself in a position to be promoted within a company to more senior roles.
