Adam Har-Shemesh

Brooklyn,NY

Summary

My name is Adam Har Shemesh, and I am a student living in New York. For the past two years, I have worked as a security officer at El Al Airlines at the airport, while simultaneously pursuing a bachelor's degree in Photography at FIT. In this role, I have been required to demonstrate high levels of commitment, work under pressure (handling hundreds of people before flights), and maintain excellent interpersonal skills.

I am a native English speaker and have familiarity with diplomatic work (my parents served in various Israeli embassies - Cyprus, England, China, and the USA). Spending time in many countries and exposure to diplomatic work have equipped me with strong communication and interpersonal skills, with an emphasis on understanding different cultures and backgrounds. High-performing Security Officer with integrity and leadership skills. Flexible in different situations and dynamic conditions. Works great under extreme stress and deadlines.
