Summary

To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills. Detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy. Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level position as a certified recovery advisor. Ready to help team achieve company goals. It has long been my dream to work in the recovery field ever since I got off substances over six years ago and off methadone a little over two years ago. I feel I have the knowledge and skills to help others on their journey to sobriety. It is my opinion that I would be a great asset to your company and would highly enjoy the career. I was first in my class at ICDC College for behavioral health to become a substance abuse counselor but unfortunately I was unable to finish due to some personal and family issues at that time. The only thing I didn’t complete was my externship but I believe those skills I acquired during that time would help me greatly in this job setting. I do plan to finish in the near future.
