PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
CURRICULUM VITAE OF NORMAN L VICTOR
2021
I see myself as confident individuals with well developed communication skills. I have a passion for computers, photography, wild life, nature and travelling, but love being physically involved in whatever is needed for the task in hand.
I studied a lot of the Bushmen culture learning the ways of their history and signs they left behind finding out what happened in the past as well as wildlife, specifically wild cats such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and caracals. My strengths include commitment, a hands-on outlook, organizational skills, teamwork, and learning new skills quickly, listening skills, result orientated, versatility, decision making, and interaction with people at all levels, reliability and personal ethics. I am keen to take on varied and challenging positions where I can broaden my experience and utilize interaction.
My ideal environment is a dynamic and challenging, one which offers learning opportunities. PERSONAL DETAILS
