I am a very hard working individual, quick learner and a go getter. As well as a neat and a confident person. I am a team player, therefor I work well in a group but I also don't need supervision, therefor I also work well individually. I don't have a problem working under pressure (can cope). I am responsible, loyal and flexible with regards to working opportunities. In order to develop myself further I'm always willing to learn more and different things. I believe knowledge helps an individual grow in society, it makes a person humble and disciplined. The role I see myself in at any company would be one where I can make a difference, not just to the customers but also in the team I will be joining. Given the opportunity in any position, you can be sure that I will always put my best foot forward in every task/opportunity given to me. With my skills and experience I know that I can be a valuable addition to the team and deliver exceptional results. I have my Code 08/B driver’s license as well as my own transport. My home language is Afrikaans but can speak, read and write English as well.
