Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
My weakness is I don’t like lazy people and I tend to speak my mind but strength is I am a hard worker I’ll give a hundred percent respect but I aspect it back too
• Is there anything you’d like to improve?
Being more understanding towards others but I tend to find I’m also a good listener and friend
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
Because I’m not one to be on my phone all the time I was brought up to believe If a job is worth doing it’s worth doing right and why put off to till tomorrow what can be done today
I am hard‑working, calm under pressure and committed to the highest professional standards. I would welcome the opportunity to join your team and bring my wide range of skills to your operation.
