Isakara

About me:

Candidate Info :
Hi my name is Isakara but most people just call me Isa. I am a 54 year old father of four and I have just relocated to Australia from Auckland, New Zealand. For the past 30 years I have driven taxis, buses, courier vans and trucks. I have had a lot of exposure and experience with customer service dealing with people from all walks of life. I can work Monday to Saturdays and I prefer daytime hours. Casual work is okay but I would prefer full time work if accepted. I have no medical or physical conditions. My minimum hourly rate is $30 per hour or more. I enjoy sports, music and relaxation. I completed Year 11 in 1985 back in New Zealand and I completed a one year full time automotive mechanics course in 2007, fixing things is one of my passions. I am honest, reliable and hardworking. I am struggling with the heat here in Australia but I will survive. If you chose to employ me, I will not only be grateful but you will gain an asset.
