Western Australia Australia

I am currently a Purchasing Officer for the Goverment.  It is a role I thoroughly enjoy and I feel I am talented at.  I experienced varying types of employment, being able to adapt to any given situation.  I have travelled extensively throughout the world and that experience has stayed with me and given me strength in my working life.  I have had very varied types of emplyment during my working life which has made me vary adaptable and able to embrace change, look at different aspects of a situation..

My strength is my determination to follow a task to it's end and to treat people as I like to be treated myself.  My weakness is being frustrated with people who don't hold the same working values as myself.  In a nutshell, each change in my working life has been for the better, being a Purchasing Officer and working in Procurment, I have found my niche.

I honestly believe that my career has improved as I have gained experience.  In the year 2000 I returned to the UK from working in the Channel Islands and worked for a concrete/ aggregate company called Lafarge.  I gained employment as a Production co-ordinator and was at the front line in dealing with very demanding construction professionals.  That experience has been invaluable to me and helps in what I do today.  I have attended college (TAFE) and gained qualifications like ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) whilst in various employment.  My current position as a Purchasing Officer is I believe my favoured career path, mainly because I have found that I can negotiate effectively and diligently.

I have been solely responsible in streamlining the courier services used, not only in the department, but at the Royal Perth Hospital.  Indeed, I actually attended a goverment meeting recently, to check what the goverment departments were being offered.  The system and cost levels I have introduced to my department were better than what I found at that meeting.

I am currently the department Rep for Chem Alert and make sure all our SDS information is up-to-date and available to all users.
