Additional Information
As a 28 year old with just under 10 years working as a residential electrician, I have considerable experience in residential electrical alterations, fault finding and upgrades. I have developed extensive problem solving skills which I believe I can transfer to future career opportunities. In my spare time I work with others to renovate residential properties to resell for a profit. While electrical work is my major contribution to the upgrades done to these properties, I have learnt and applied many other skills such as basic carpentry, landscaping and plastering. I hope to continue this work in my spare time while I explore further career pathways.
When I am not working I enjoy playing basketball, going camping and spending time with friends and family. I enjoy being active in both my work life and personal time. While I thoroughly enjoy my residential electrical work, I would like to further broaden my skill sets and attempt new career opportunities. I am looking for work that offers growth into roles that challenge me and present greater responsibility as I believe I excel in roles that initiate professional and personal development.
