Gerhardt Steyn

Thank you for taking time in viewing my cv. I am a very hardworking person driven by commitment, trust and eagerness to learn. I don't have a problem with working extra hours if the need arise. Customer relations is something I am good at.

I am a no nonsense go getter person who knows what I want and performs excellent under pressure. Have a great sense of adventure and a brilliant yet very sharp sense of humor. I have a strong leader ability and takes charge over a difficult situation easily.

I'm slowly building on my empire, one brick at a time, to own my own business one day.
