PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

I consider myself to be fit, hardworking, trustworthy and reliable. From an early age I was groomed to enter the family business, where I enjoyed a successful and lucrative career within the building industry. My decision to return to full-time education was made by choice following the retirement of my father. During my time in higher education I took the opportunity to pursue my own interests in computing and the study of Japan and it's language. My goal has been to pursue these areas of interest into industry. I feel my working experience together with the qualifications I have gained, and the loyal hardworking attitude instilled in me by my family, would be a great asset to any company, institution or organisation willing to give me the opportunity to join them. Finally, I am committed to lifelong learning for both others and myself and feel this philosophy is essential to personal development.
