Personal Statement
I am a motivated, diligent and versatile individual who is hardworking with drive and a willingness to
succeed; combine these traits with an adeptness to learn new skills and techniques and I could prove
to be a valuable addition to any team. The experience of university, working, team sports and
travelling has enabled me to broaden my interaction with people from all walks of life. This has
reinforced my belief that through good communication and co operation a positive outcome to
situations can be achieved with greater ease.

Warehouse Assistant
As a warehouse assistant I was able to work safely and efficiently, both on my own and as part of a
team, whilst keeping to strict time constraints . I received positive feedback from the Department
Manager, due to my quickness to learn and reliability.
Iceland Foods Company Stock Control
November 2012 – September 2013
Whilst at Iceland I demonstrated my organisational skills by working methodically and prioritising
tasks. I have also shown a willingness and dependability by covering shifts and coming in to work
when called to do so at short notice.
I was fortunate enough at the end of 2013 to travel to New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and Europe.
The experience I feel expanded my horizons and built up my self reliance. I further developed my
budgeting and planning skills for the trip and also displayed adaptability when making travel plans.
Interests
Sport. I have a great interest in sport, football in particular, and the competitiveness it promotes. I
have a passion for outdoor activities; white water rafting, hiking and kayaking being examples of this. I
have recently participated in ‘Hard as Dales’, a 28 mile charity walk in the Yorkshire Dales.
Other a full, clean driving licence.
