Benjamin Mortimore's Resume
Overview
Student currently studying a Bachelor of International Business (co-majoring in International Relations) at Griffith University, Brisbane. I was a 2009 graduate of Caboolture State High School in Queensland, where I was awarded the Chinese language student of the year. During my studies at CSHS I also received my Cert. II in Information Technology, and am now proficient in using word-processors, spreadsheets, data-bases and developing web-pages.
My skills in IT and group management were then put to the test through work experience as I organised and designed a functional website for local horse-breeding business, Di Cavalli Stud in late 2007.
I have also had significant experience on the ground-level within a business. I have worked within a large grocery store chain (Woolworths Ltd.) for upwards of 4 years now, in that time I've had the opportunity to understand how business operates from the ground up. I've also gained proficiency in people skills, through my now excellent customer service skills and friendships established with co-workers.
Currently, I'm looking for employment/ work-experience on any level in international business, international relations and trade, to get experience in the industry whilst I continue my 2nd and 3rd years of study at university.
