PERSONAL SUMMARY
As a determined and hardworking person, I thrive on working within an environment that
constantly challenges my abilities. I feel as though I am not working to my full potential if I am
not continuously improving my personal capability. I work effectively in either a small or a
large organisation, and enjoy pressure and meeting deadlines. Having just achieved a Social
Work Degree, I am now looking to take a different direction with my career and am looking for a
suitable position with a progressive employer in recruitment.
