Struan Mcphillips

In 2018 I attended Edinburgh College and studied Social Science HNC but decided to drop out. I previously worked at Mcdonalds for three years. From 2021 to 2024. I am currently very keen to find employment in the local area.

From working in hospitality. I have become a very patient and well organized person with good communication skills. I am very keen to use and develop these skills in a retail, hospitality or warehouse environment.

Throughout my education I have had the additional challenge of dyslexia and being partially sighted. However, as you can see. I still managed to gain an HNC and 5 Highers.
