Since leaving high school in 1986 I have held full-time jobs, par-time jobs, and work experience. Some were a couple of days, some were a couple of weeks and some a year or more.

I have had the joy of learning many things.

I will try to summarise:

Labouring; mowing and slashing, tomato picking, concrete tank making onsite, shed erection, hammer hand, paving, mango picking, fertilising hazel nut trees, chicken farm hand, fencing, green house assembly and installation, dump worker recovering saleable items, scrap metal worker.

Retail; stationary shop assistant and delivery driver, sandwich shop and Kennards hire currently.

Process work; windsceen manufacturing, cabinet making chipboard/laminated and pine, postforming laminated tops, materials recovery facility worker(recycling plant); Machine operating involved in some most of this.

Driving; tilt tray driver and assorted delivery driver jobs inc kennards hire. Forklift driver in various jobs.

My resume makes me look like a risky employee, but if you look deeper you see I'm adaptable and willing to try and learn anything.

I started my life in Carlton in Victoria, we lived in Braybrook, Malvern East then we moved to Qld when I was approx 9, and we lived in West End for 12 months before moving to Beenleigh. I moved around the local area Eagleby, Loganholme, Carbrook, Marsden, Loganlea, Logan Village, before moving to NSW. We Lived in Emu Plains before returning back up here. I stayed in Woodridge before settling in this rented place in Tamborine. Forgot I lived in Glenwood some years ago for a while too.

[arinol]

cool post mate im only 21 years old so i haven't had many jobs so my list will be short.

started in the towns work school when i was 12,

got a job in a factory when i was just 15, it was a plastic molding factory that made botles and plates to keep yogurts in place. the most boring job ever standing at the end of the assembly line and stacking the plates up. dit that for 2 summers,

the i got a job as a landscaper for 2 summers and half a year, decited to take a brake from school and go traveling to africa which was a lot of fun, that job short of made my back bad,

so since then ive been in collage and working in a pet preform for botles factory in the summers and weekends. and occasionally at my friends garage.

[YNOT]
