Personal qualities
I feel strongly about the environment. Sustainabl
e development works to reduce our effect on the
planet. I could not work anywhere that did not
respect this
I love animals. They make me feel happy. It
would be great to work with them
I need the freedom of working outdoors I just
could not work in an office or shop
I feel the cold badly, construction involves
working outdoors. I think this should be missed
