Brandon Nichol

I am currently seeking a new opportunity having recently left the Royal Navy. During my time in the Navy, I developed some key skills and attributes that have resulted in me becoming a loyal employee and dedicated worker. I have learned how to present myself as a strong individual who can stand out in a team, but I also know the importance of teamwork and I work very well with others.

My past employment has allowed me to be proactive with tasks, completing work that is required without instruction, but also take direction and prioritise the workload that is delegated to me. I am an energetic employee who is keen to learn and grow my skillset, as well as train and coach others in areas where I excel. I have strong communication and organisation skills that have allowed me to thrive in a retail and sales setting.

My solutions-based mentality allows me to resolve problems that I may face, as well as my colleagues and peers.
