Additional Information
- I know i have only a season under my belt. But i feel with the right company I could be a great employee. I just need a chance to prove myself. I am a hard worker, I am willing to learn new areas. I do not mind going out of town, I just might need to get a few paychecks under my belt first. And my hope is that the company that does take a chance on me keeps to their word as well.
- Thankyou
