Summary
Reliable candidate ready to take on challenges using problem-solving and task prioritization skills to help the team succeed. Alright, that was definitely not written by me. I’m sure you’ve seen 100’s of similar website-generated statements by now and I’m definitely not trying to fit that mold! In all honesty I’ve been operating a variety of equipment for years now, and I’m a crane operator now because all operators like operating bigger equipment, and I certainly wasn’t going to pass at the chance to operate cranes on ships. But they aren’t for me. I’d rather be back on dry land in “regular” equipment. I hope to hear from you soon!
