My name is Elyd Avalos, I am 21 years old and am actively seeking a position as a welder. I am currently in the Fabrication course completing my Welding Certificate at Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC). I am eager to find a job because the SRJC class only meets once a week, which is not enough practice for me because my mind is only focused on welding and being able to do hands-on work for 1 day out of the 7 throughout the week. I am looking for a company that is busy and has consistent work and who is willing to give me a chance so I can improve my proficiency as both a welder and a fabricator. I know how to MiG, TiG and stick weld but there is still a whole bunch I need to learn. I’m here to become a factor for the company, not a burden. I am highly motivated and willing to work hard to be a valuable part of your crew. I just need to be given a chance and show my skills and learn and gain as much knowledge as possible. I need to get my foot in the door, that’s why I’m trying to push myself out there as much as possible and take advantage now that I can.
