years of professional experience
I have alot of good experience in various fields. I am fairly comfortable in my life situation. I am single and do not have any children and various hours and shifts do not bother me as long as there is scheduling consistency. I am used to working mornings, late nights, weekends and holidays. I do not mind working extensive days in a row as long as I have time off in a row that is relevant to the days worked. I don't have to have set days off. Looking forward to being an integral part of my work team and helpful to others.
