CONTACT: i42356@hanmail.net

I'm Yeon-ju,Lim. From south Korea.

I had been worked for rafting guide in Korea and for 5months at Penrith white water stadium in Sydney. Now I have been working in Tully river. I came here just for rafting guide.(It's easy to get the Australia working holiday visa and It's possible to extend maximum two years. That's why I'm here.) I want to work for rafting guide as longer as I can. Rafting is all my life. I want to challenge any river in NZ. My working holiday visa will be expire 23th oct 09. So I want to take shotgun test if you can hire me. Ideally I'd like to get the sponsorship visa as a rafting guide. I hope you are interested in my career experiences. So I’d like to share my dreams with you, I’ve done a lot of research on rafting and adventure tourism in NewZealand and I’d love the chance to prove myself! as a guide, I’m also interested in the kayaking instructor course and then ski patrol training in the winter season as I really enjoy the challenge. If you give me the opportunity with a sponsored visa, I'll do my best for my new company. I have a lot of contacts internationally and I am a part of Internet networking sites, I would be able to bring tourists to the rivers and mountains of NewZealand. Could you please consider the sponsorship visa and give me an answer kindly. Thank you.

I am seeking employment as a Safety Boater with possibility of training for Raft Guide. I am a 24yr old who has paddled for the last 10 years solidly. I have toured Europe every year since I was 17 and paddle up to grade V regularly with my home turf grade V run only 30 minutes from my home in Belfast, Ireland.

I have been the safety officer for the most active clubs here since the age of 18 and was president for the annual Inter-University competition organising 500 kayakers for 4 days of kayaking, accommodation and partying. I am a great organiser and get jobs done without having to be led by others.

I am a qualified kayak lifeguard, I hold a relevant Aquatic first aid qualification and paddle at a V* level. I am also a qualified kayak coach.

I am moving to New Zealand at the end of October 2007 and will possibly be based in Rotorua depending on job possibilities. I am flexible to move to any location in New Zealand. I am also very physically fit and healthy with no allergies or medical problems that could possibly affect my ability to work. I can learn quickly and can settle in to roles of others smoothly if given the chance; should others not be available etc. I have a clean driver's license and can drive almost any vehicle.

Again my aim is that of attaining a job as a safety boater with the possibility of gaining a raft guiding qualification. I may attend a course in Wales or Scotland before my departure for New Zealand to gain proper rafting qualifications if so needed.

I also have many valid sponsors who will vouch for ability to work effectively and to the level I have stated. (Did I mention i'm Irish and great craic to be with?!)
