SUMMARY

When it comes to my work, I am a Team Leader and communicate well, also an adaptable/flexible person and not afraid of making changes, and have excellent decision making abilities, and always looking for new and innovative ways to improve and develop. I am a great all-rounder in the Management talent Pool, and can adjust to most situations. I am well organised and self-motivated, enjoy working in a team environment and have an analytical approach to challenges.. I am a very down to earth person, and that is probably the main reason that I get along with everyone. My best trait is my great sense of humour, and consistent pleasant disposition. My work defines me, and I will be a pleasure to work with, and asset to any company that employs me.
