My name is Akbar Sarjang. I am from Afghanistan. I had my own father tyre biusness and I learned tyre work from my father. I have lot of experience in truck and bus tyres. I can fitted, repair, sell and buy tyres. I can also repair flat (punctured) tyres with tubes. I worked with hand made tools like heavy hammer and tyre levers. In Australia there is very different for me because here they work with modern machines. s ome of them are computerize, at that moment it is little hard for me to learn it. But I hope I will do that. I am writing now about my work place, that is Beaurepairs tyre shop at Birisbine Street Hobart. My kind supervisor`s name is Mick. I will start work from next week and I prepare my safety gear ( cloths, shoes) and learn whole safety rules from my kind teacher Jason. I will learn many types of tyre works within balancing and elingment. I will respect all other workers and if I dont understand I will ask to my co- worker. In the beginning I can feel little hard but I am very happy to go to work place. It`s belong to my future and I can get benifit to learn my tyre biusness in new equipments. When I learn that, then I will say first to my wife and childern .I will work always hard and honest because this is my aims and I will be success.
