Biography

I am native English speaking South African with a Bachelors Degree in English and Communication.

In 1998, I travelled and worked in the United Kingdom where I had the opportunity to au-pair, work at a
children's camp, on a farm and as a caretaker at an old age home. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I enjoy new challenges and welcome opportunities to prove myself at any task I am presented with.
Whether I am required to work in a team, on my own or as the manager on a project, I am confident in my
abilities to thrive in any capacity.

RES

To Whom it May Concern

With reference to: Rowan Goss

Rowan Goss has been employed at the Kingswood centre (Isle of Wight)
throughout our 1998 Summer Camp in the capacity of Group Leader.

The Kingswood centre is a busy residential activities centre catering for

approximately 300 children. During our summer camp season Rowan was
responsible for the general welfare of up to 15 children at any given time,
acting as both guardian and disciplinarian. He was always well liked and
respected by the children and has become a very competent and confident
activity instructor. Rowan has displayed patience, tolerance and flexibility
when dealing with both groups and individual children.

Rowan proved himself to be well liked able to cope with the stress of working
long hours in a very demanding environment and has been a reliable and
trustworthy employee.

If he should decide to return to this line of work we would have no qualms

about reemploying Rowan and would not hesitate in recommending him to a
prospective employer.

Yours faithfully

To Wbom It May Concern:

ROW AN BERTRAM GOSS was employed by Davgo cc from January 2000 until April 2008.
He started witb no formal construction qualifications as an assistant to one of my construction
foreman. Despite tbis, during bis employment period, he bas attained numerous valuable skills,
practical experience and has received several promotions thus proving a valuable asset to any
company.

At tbe time of leaving in April of 2008, he was managing three construction teams in assembling
various types of structures, platforms and bridges whilst being my only sub-ordinate.

Rowan is a good communicator witb the ability to manage project requirements, delegate tasks
to staff and successfully follow a task througb to completion. Throughout tbe duration of every
project, be communicated tbe requirements and changes as prescribed by clients, engineers or
draughts persons to myself, Dave and the respective staff to ensure everyone was well-informed.

Rowan can accurately read structural plans and bas an understanding of structural concepts
and terminology. He bas experience witb compiling bealth and safety files; has knowledge of
working witb mobile cranes and directing their operation; and knowledge of our suppliers, used
products and the product's correct application.

I feel confident to highly recommend Rowan as a possible employee to any team. He is honest,
reliable, capable and willing to learn. It is unfortunate that he wants to pursue other interests,
but I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Should you bave any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
