Tasks

1. Research about possible places to work.

2. Any contact you have with business about doing volunteer work.

3. Any personal preparation you do.

Once I got the job I new that in my first day I would have to make myself look as professional as possible, I went to buy myself some working clothes and asked my friend Dave for some tips such as how to act and what to say when meeting the boss, he was the responsible for arranging this trial and he had been working in this field for more than 30 years.

4. How you created or adjusted your resume to fit a particular job.

I never made a resume when looking for a job in construction sites, what I actually did was getting to know people who was already working in this field, I thought this strategy was the best one due to my lack of experience in construction work in Australia. In my opinion a trial was a much better chance than an interview because I knew that showing people what I was capable of was a lot easier than have made than believe me before seeing what I had to show.

5. How you decided on the area of work you wanted.

I believe construction work is something I always had a natural ability to do, when only a kid I was always playing with my father’s tools, doing some pretty impressive staff
