Summary

Hello, my name is Riccardo and I will be working in Australia for a year. I just finished high school in Switzerland at the Steiner School near Lugano. I got the International Baccalaureate Diploma with 37 points thanks to the last two years of IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Program).


If I had to describe myself in three words they would be: practical, hard working and honest.


I am seeking a job that enables me to spare some money and allows me to spend my gap year in Australia. Thanks to my school and the experiences that I had I managed to gain experience in arts, like painting, playing violin and theatre. I also worked with wood, stone and steel creating artistic objects out of them. I have quite a bit of experience in volunteering, working in a bar, working as a waiter, organizing parties and shooting and creating films. I am also experienced in working with animals such as horses, dogs and cats. I have worked many times in the countryside, produced olive oil and planted, cured and harvested vegetables.

Overall, I am definitely a multitasking guy. I also speak fluently English and Italian and I can communicate in Spanish and German.


I decided to take this gap year and travel the world since I strongly believe that there is no better school than the world itself and the people in it. I have a plenty of energy and will to work, hopefully I will have the possibility to use them!
