Work experience: 2005 - 2007
2005: I have done some work experience at Landis Lund now known as Cinetic Landis, Cross Hills, I spent one week work experience at Landis and had the opportunity of working in various departments, which I enjoyed and found to be of great benefit.
2006: Over the Christmas period I worked for Damart (in Bingley) inputting data on the computer in the office.
2006: Through the summer period, I worked at Gesipa (in Keighley) Where I inspected the products they made in quality control.
2007: Part-time work at Moorcroft Lifestyle in their warehouse; on the days I didn't attend college.
Hobbies/interests: I have always enjoyed designing my own buildings and environments either on paper or in my head. When I was leaving School and was thinking about what I was going to do next I discovered I could do a course in computer games development at Shipley College, I wanted to gain skills in this field so that I could create my ideas in 3D and hopefully go on to creating buildings and environments for computer games.
I also love the physics behind computer games, I spend some of my time watching examples of the latest computer physics examples online. I would very much like to gain skills in this field is well, although I still prefer creating 3d worlds.
In the past I have tried a few different hobbies, such as swimming, karate, kickboxing and football, but over the years these hobbies ran their full course, but I didn’t leave without a few awards.
