To find my place and be involved in, a professional company working with Information Technology. To do this, I will undertake varied work, so that I can have a better understanding of the work that I am trained for. I anticipate that I will find employment in systems engineering, programming, networking, or as a computer hardware specialist.
Roger's describes his career highlights below:
Currently I am the Sports Officer at the Australian Luther Collage,
where I board. The position includes organising and running events
including mixed touch football, mixed netball, a squash competition,
upgrading gym equipment, and managing the sports budget. As a senior
member of the Boarding Collage it is also my duty to help new
students settle into the collage and make new friends. I also help
organise the cultural events that are run, and enjoy participating
in all of the above events and sporting activities.
During my summer vacation work at Angas park, I worked on a
tray-scraping machine. This involved working with, and helping to
organising the 10 staff involved in the process. It also included
solving any problems that occurred during the shifts, especially
when the supervisor was absent and left me in charge.
At the supermarket I previously worked at, I cleaned the meat
cabinet every Saturday afternoon after the shop had closed to
customers. This was also unsupervised work as I was the only
employee working at that time, and when I finished cleaning had to
close the shop.
I also work for my father on his farm during the mid year holidays
when I return home.
