Objective

With much interest and enthusiasm I have achieved my aspiration to become a Life Guard I define a skill as the application of your own unique way to a particular task and complete it successfully. I strongly believe that there are many unique skills that I can offer your well established and demanding workforce. This would include adaptability and flexibility.

I have great leadership skills but I have also gained the experience of working both independently and as part of a team. I would consider myself a dedicated, hardworking figure that is quite disciplined. I have remarkable organisational skills and I value the importance of time keeping. I am able to use my initiative in difficult situations and I am always eager to enhance my learning and performance skills.

I believe that my youth, determination and eagerness to instate a career in a close protection field could only accentuate this. Since leaving the Irish Defence Forces I have developed and enhanced my unique skills but I strongly believe that now is the right time for me to enter the exhilarating field of close protection so I can apply these to the best of my ability. I will draw your attention to the face that with a security post I do not find satisfaction as I pine for greater challenges and demands which I believe that only close protection can offer me.

Work Experience

May 2007 - Present G4S Security Ltd Omagh

I am currently employed as a team leader on a full-time basis with Corp Security Ltd. This role includes the organisation of a team to ensure the maintenance and security of a large Army complex. I am also the designated Fire Warden for the Lisanelly Complex.

September 2002 - May 2007 Irish Defence Forces Ireland

I carried out the duties of a general solider. For the duration of this period I exemplified the importance of justification, prevention, minimum force and legal requirements. I also accomplished this when I served three tours overseas in my five year reign these included Macedonia, Kosovo and Greece. I significantly valued this particular experience as I believe that this developed my character and person but also it made me approach life with greater maturity.

I represented the All-Ireland Army soccer, Gaelic and basketball teams which I completed to the best of my ability. I actively took part in public presentations to children in relation to helping promote the Irish Defence Forces as a career option. As follows are a list of qualifications I achieved:

· Recruitment Training

· 3 Star Training

· 81mm Mortar Course

· Life saving course

2003 - May 2008 Riversdale leisure Centre Strabane

I completed the duties of a pool attendant. This includes watching civilians and enforcing water safety regulations. I have the experience of attending both children and adults. I have been trained in first aid to compliment this. During this time I have also completed several courses and achieved special awards and merits.

Extra curricular Activities

I would consider myself as highly motivated and active. I am particularly interested in soccer and currently a member of the Strabane football team in which I serve the role as captain. Throughout the week I attend several training sessions to improve my performance on the field. To accentuate this I am also a member of my local gym were I complete weight sessions.

My dedication and interest in football were I devote a great deal of my spare time. Throughout the years I have represented my school, town, county and country. I represented Tyrone in the milk cup and I then went on to represent Northern Ireland. I believe it is important to be so passionate about your past-time as it allows you to concentrate and enhance skills when outside work. Another activity I participate in is swimming and this allows me to improve my fitness also. Socialising is also important as I enjoy meeting new people and personalities.
