Connie O'Neal
Whitwell,TN
Summary
I am a hard working mother, who is determined to make a better life for my family. I have always went into every job with the intent of advancing in my field of work. In 2015 my husband and i decided that it was best that I no longer pursue my work due to us having our first child. Our two children have now begun school and now I am back to work but, looking for a job that is more stable and consistent also with the potential of higher pay to help out financially inside our home. Becoming a mother I am now more educated on life and also I am determined to now start a career with your company and perform for you at the peak of my ability. I am also very interested in a work from home position that way I can be close to my children in the event an emergency or illness I can be more available to be at their aid. I see myself as a great candidate for this position because i am a hard worker and i am 100 percent dedicated to my work and anxious to advance in a career with your company.
