Jake Hall
“I am extremely proud to be involved with WorldSkills Australia and cannot wait to compete at the International Competition in London. The whole process has helped to improve and further my skills and as a result there is never a shortage of work.”
It’s a family affair for Jake! Jake’s mum, dad and three brothers are each involved in the construction and building industry, therefore it was no surprise that Jake had a strong interest in pursuing a career in wall and floor tiling.
Jake would recommend a trade to others as he believes it is a “great lifestyle, holds a challenge where every day is different and provides a good financial income for those willing to work hard.” Jake describes wall and floor tiling as an “exciting and fast paced trade.”
Jake enjoys the job satisfaction gained through seeing the excited expression on the clients face when a project is completed. Jake prides himself on his attention to detail and thoroughness which is an important quality to have in his line of work.
In the short term Jake plans to continue working as a sub contractor and expanding his skills and later down the track Jake has inspiring goals, he plans to manage his own company.
Jake is looking forward to travelling somewhere new and seeing how other countries administer tiling patterns and techniques when he competes at the WorldSkills International Competition in London, UK 2011.
