Finlay Mackay

I have currently finished sixth year and await my exam results and looking for a part-time job. I am hard working, enthusiastic and keen to learn new tasks as well as gaining experience. I am extremely flexible for working patterns as in sixth year I have free periods that would allow me to work in the afternoons as well as straight after school.

I am also able to work evenings and weekends and during school breaks. I am just looking for to be able to get a chance at part-time vacancies to show how dedicated, hardworking, customer focused I can be and also to be able to gain valuable job experience.
