Description

Hi,
I am an outgoing outdoorsy person. That just finished preparatory scientific education( highschool). And starting 6 October I am going to serve 1 year in the Dutch military. My motivation for that is to get to meet new people and learn a lot of things. In the whole month of September I have nothing to do so I thought that I could do some good abroad. And experience a lot of new things.
I am an eager student that is determined to always get the job done. I don't mind working in the rain or deal with uneasy situations. I am also a quite social guy who is always down for a chat.
I hope that September is going to be an interesting month!!!

More details about your skills

Hi,
My education consists of finishing the hardest level of high school but to be fair I didn't really learn a lot of skills there. Besides learning and how to socialise.

I have had 3 three jobs in my life.
The job I have done the longest is working in a Grocery store( Albert Heijn) for three and a half years, i started out with just needing to stock shelves. Now I need to do a lot more like overseeing my colleagues, and keeping the stocks in check and a lot more.

My second job was cleaning my rowing club, from the toilets to the boats I cleaned it all. I did that for about 9 months and I stopped because it was going to be interfering with my third job.

My third job I've had the most fun with, it was being an allround employee on an cheese market. Building the market up in the morning then selling cheese to customers and making chats with them. And then breaking the market up. I've learned a lot on the Cheese market and have been doing it for a year.

I have teached rowing to kids aged 10-14 for around 3 years. I have also organised 2 rowing camps and volunteered for a Christian children camp which was a lot of fun and i learned a lot.
I know how to keep kids busy and entertained


I have an range of different skills.
In al of my jobs I have been asked to teach other people the work so I guess, I can teach.
I am an intermediate gardener my mom taught me a lot, and not long ago I fixed up a garden for my best friends wedding.
I have a good sense of direction and like reading maps.
And when someone has an blue collar job that needs to be done I'm often called, like picking up the hay bales from the farms. Or when someone needs something fixed. When I say this I don't mean that I am an expert but I think logically and i am just an good assistant.

(For September I have asked for leave, from the two jobs I'm still doing.)
