PERSONAL SUMMARY
Maxine has a safety-first approach to working around farm equipment and animals. She is a physically fit individual who can bend and crouch to lift and carry crops and tools that may be heavy. You can rely on her to labour extremely long days to make sure that all important tasks are completed satisfactorily. In her current role, she looks after animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and poultry. Aside, from this she also harvests fruits and vegetables by hand. During her career she has done seasonal work that typically involved long periods out in the fields planting and harvesting. As a true professional she is can give and take orders, meaning she is OK with not only being supervised by the landowner, but also with herself supervising casual staff or agricultural contractors. On a personal level she is prepared to travel and live close to, or even on the farm on which she works. Right now, she would like to join a company where she will be with people who love the countryside just as much as she does.
