Work Ethic
I'm a hard working guy, I can pick things up pretty quick.
I come from a Russian/Ukrainian home and can speak, read, and write both languages. Coming from this home setting I started working at an early age to help provide for the family. All the jobs I've worked I was set apart from everyone else, I've worked for three different companies and had the opportunity to worked next to the owners because they " saw something in me "
Being able to work closely and figure out not only how to perform certain tasks but see how the business was run.
I have an outgoing and optimistic character, I'm excited for a new challenge and opportunity to gain more experience.
