Scott Southwell's Resume

 

Gisborne New Zealand

Overview

I am an Australian born citizen currently residing in New Zealand, where I have been since 2001.  My wife and I have made the decision to relocate to Australia to take advantage of the excellent opportunities on offer.
In the majority of cases particularly in recent years, I was invited to join a company based on my level of skills and intelligence.  I always viewed this as an opportunity to grow and broaden my experience.  I do now desire a level of permanancy and stability and with the right opportunity I would wish to commit to a significant period of time.
After having several years of high level management experience, I know that I would be an asset to any company I join.  I have an approachable, friendly personality that is reflected by my ability to adapt to different roles and situations, and the respect that I am able to enjoy from my peers.  From the site cleaner to the CEO I am able to relate with confidence,  maturity and integrity.
