Yatheen Sookdew

I am a self-motivated individual who strives to perform at his best. I have spent my childhood in motor vehicle workshop as a pass time and had opportunities to gain experience in repairing motor vehicles. I have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office and Google sheets.

I pride myself on finding innovative ways in being more efficient and more effective in my work and workplace. I have designed a network of google sheets, "Controls board", which I use in my current job which in real time updates my service advisors on progress of the vehicles, keeps control of my carry overs and tracks performance of both the workshop as a whole and the technicians. This information is then used / relayed to different google sheets that provide me with the necessary reports and information to conduct reviews.

Having spent my childhood and some of my adult hood repairing cars and working on engines, even though I do not have a trade qualification, gave me the experience to have a strong technical knowledge. I am a good listener and have good leadership abilities and posses the confidence to take charge and move a project forward. I look forward to working within your company and making the difference that's counts.
