Summary
I have always been passionate about farm work. The last year has been a wonderful experience working with H&M. I learned a lot about the operations on a farm as well about myself. I know it's hard work and long hours but I am more than capable of doing it again. I am young, fit, confident and hardworking. I have the will power to persevere and keep going until the job is done. I work well in teams as well on my own. I have a valid passport.
