Summary
I am a very independent and hard worker. I show up to work early and leave late. Don’t call off unless has to do with family or sick. I know how to work long hours and am a very clean person. I am very good with people skills. I work 110% no matter how much I make. My saying is "You never know who is watching". I have accomplished so much in life. I have a huge drive and a why in life and that’s what makes me a fast learner and work hard.
