Personal statement:
I am a motivated and cooperative young individual who is able to work well alone as well as in group situations. Because of my previous experiences, I have learnt that I love the satisfaction that comes from dedicating my time and energy to working hard and actually earning my salary. I am eager to learn a variety of skills in a practical setting, so I will always try my best in every situation, making me a good person to consider for your team.
*I am available to work immediately.*
The Covid-19 pandemic has left me in isolation for most of the year and due to this, I have been out of work, and have hardly had many social interactions for months, so it’s been really hard to get that chance to “un-pause” my life. But with the change in restrictions, I am definitely ready to get back into work whilst I can, so I can reassure that I’ll work to the best of my ability to do a great job regardless of my experience with the job role, from day one.
