Hello!
As the title of the forum post suggests I am a 21 year old British male looking for work. I have a large variety of work experience for my age with conversational Spanish. I will post my CV below, along with my email address! Please let me know if you have any further enquiries, I am more than happy to work in most places.

Personal and Work Summary
I've always been a very tenacious worker when it comes to accomplishing goals that I set myself. I've completed several extracurricular activities that involve the outdoors. These include walking and camping the along the South Downs Way (a national park spanning 100 miles approx.) twice and hiking trips to the Lake District, Scottish Highlands and the Alps. In my gap year I have spent time working in catering for Eastbourne Borough Council and a month with Marks & Spencer and I have spent nine weeks’ doing work experience with Drusillas Zoo Park in East Sussex. This work enabled me to travel to Ecuador to volunteer in the Amazon for three months with rescue animals. After returning I worked in Digital Marketing for four months in total - handling relations between companies and their respected demographic. Following this I secured a position working in Hasting´s Direct Insurance as a claims advisor. My role was to look after clients of the company as they filed their claims, and take them through the procedure of registering an incident. This was a great skill-bolstering experience as I was confronting tasks I´d never engaged before. It pushed my customer service and phone conversation abilities to new levels, and also my data handling was improved significantly. My final work place in the UK after Hasting´s direct was Gardner´s Books as a warehouse operative. Again a completely different environment to any I´d experienced before. It improved my ability to work as an individual, constantly striving to beat my previous records of number of boxes backed in a day. I very much enjoyed the discipline of the job. I took on the role with a group of five other trainees and was the first to be offered a permanent position in the team. I couldn´t accept the position however as I was engaged to return to Yana Cocha in Ecuador. Here I worked as a coordinator, handling many different responsibilities. Namely looking after volunteers, caring for wild animals, and ensuring the centre operated and functioned correctly. For this I was required to work and be on call 24/7, to suit the needs of volunteers and the animals. Aspects of the job included; handling wild animals, veterinary assistance in medical procedures, carrying out emergency procedures (e.g. when animals escaped), cooking, upkeep of accommodation, emotional support of volunteers, organising and formulating new activities, maintenance and cleaning of animal enclosures, construction projects and more. This helped me improve many skills, some of which involving my lifelong passion (conservation of the natural world) and some involving my personable abilities and leadership skills. I made friends with all of the volunteers and wish to see them again!
Activities
- I like to keep fit in preparation for my outdoor activities by going to the gym and running, six times a week.
- Wild camping and hiking
- Enjoy being outside my comfort zone
- I've loved interacting with colourful characters on my travels and never say no to exciting propositions
(I hope to add mountaineering and parachuting to this list when financially feasible!)
Character Strengths
- Ambitious
- Determined
- Co-operative
- Optimistic
- Reliable
- Easy to get on with
- Patient
- While working here I will be practising my Spanish so eventually I can obtain a degree in Buenos Aires to work as a Guardaparque.
