Ali



My name is Ali. I come from Iran but I was born in Iraq so I can speak Persian as well as Arabic. I have been lived in Tasmania for one year. I do not have any work experience in Australia. I started my study at Polytechnic when I arrived in Tasmania.

I worked in my country different works. My first job was shoemaker for 8 years. I can sew and cut leather and make it shoes properly. I worked in friendly places, not in a factory, so I enjoyed it and I was interested in it. I am hard worker in my job and I worked by team.

My second job was completely different. I worked as a graphic designer. Actually I worked by the C omputer programmes like Corel Draw and Photoshop. I designed many pictures, figures and gravure (?) etc. Almost my design was in black and white more than colours. I know which how work by P rinter and S canner. Meanwhile, I have experience to contact by many different customers in my job and working under pressure.

I will work at the Cripps Nubake factory in Glenorchy. It is big factory with huge machines do several of bread, muffin and etc. In the first they making dough by multigrain then put the dough in a machine to make it like a cake of dough and then they put that on the special room with high humidity so it will rise. Finally, the dough going to bake, after that the bread is cooled by fans and packaged by machine. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly what I will to do so I am waiting for surprising !
