I am 43 years old. I have been part of the working class since 1997. I worked at all kinds of Corporate and Industrial Companies and was successful in many different positions I was appointed in. I am currently un-employed and was retrenched end of July 2020, due to the effect that the Covid-19 pandemic had on the Economy and Businesses in South Africa until now. I worked at Toyota Forklift a Material Handling Equipment Industry for 12 years and also at the Joint Municipal Pension Fund a Pension Fund Industry for 6 years. From the time I left school until now, I have learned such a great deal and have grown immensely. I have achieved everything I set my mind to and my work performance was always more than satisfactory. I take pride in my work and perform my duties to the best of my ability. Change has taught me to be flexible to adapt quicker if need be. Learning and sharing knowledge is a must, I believe you are only as strong as everyone around you. I am as good as I can be with the digital side of work, still also improving this. Endurance and perseverance are two of my best qualities. I know how to prioritize my time. Basic decision making and taking responsibility is another skill I learned. Collaboration is a very important factor, important to know what your team and other departments do. I am a people person and can mostly read and understand people. Innovation is also one of my strengths, I can take a concept or process and make it better most of the time. I can take chaos and turn it into order. I recently received my certificate in Supply Chain Management Short Course through Damelin and I am currently studying to be a Life Coach. Singing and planning to sing at venues is also in the pipeline. Gym is one of my hobbies that keep me healthy and fit and I love reading. I am open to new opportunities now. I am a fast learner and once confident in what I need to do, will I be an asset to any Company that will have me. I work hard and I am not a lazy person.
