Personal Statement
I am a conscientious worker who is always responsible. I pride myself
on my ethics at work as well as my reliability. I enjoy working as part
of a team, and have a ‘can do’ attitude. I take care of my personal
appearance and have a good sense of humour. I also speak my mind
when needed.
I am committed to a high standard of work and of personal conduct,
aiming for the best performance in each job that I take on. I have been
a makeup artist for film and theatre for most of my working life. In
each of these environments, client relationships and working closely
with other people have been key factors in performing well. I
consider myself to be well equipped with the necessary skills to
manage most challenges.
