Summary

I am looking for an opportunity to be hired as an in-house Carpenter and General Building Maintenance assistant with an emphasis in Carpentry, Joinery and Cabinet making. With this background and exposure, I hope to be gainfully employed as a permanent artisan Carpenter, Joinery and Cabinet maker. I hope to attain my Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery and cabinet maker and pursue a rewarding career in this field.

I am a self-motivated, creative, reliable, enthusiastic, and flexible individual who is ambitious and eager to further his knowledge and experience in Joinery and general building maintenance. I aim high and have the desire to achieve whilst applying my ability to work with minimum supervision. I am also a great team player who always aims to be an influential part of a winning team and its success. I have been complimented severally by my supervisors as being a personable and organized professional. During my course, I was always dedicated to maintaining smooth operations. I possess solid understanding of operational procedures, coupled with excellent problem-solving skills. Due to the pandemic in 2020, my course was suspended until further notice. In 2021, I worked at the British embassy as a maintenance assistant in various felids such as plumbing ,roofing, tile laying , bricklaying , BIC fittings, industrial generator servicing all under supervision of experienced artisan. I worked there for a whole year.

After my course resumed in Masasa Industrial training college, I had already relocated to my home town, there I found opportunities in solo trading as an interior designer. I produced aesthetics for events such as "Garden of house, Private School and Hinde." I completed these projects efficiently ensuring high-quality results.

I continue to be diligent in carpentry and general labor because it is my passion.
