Additional Information
I can truly say my work ethic and etiquette is remarkable. I strive to be the best in my field and obtain any knowledge I can. My motto for learning anything is "you can never get enough knowledge". Working is not just about the money. I like to stay busy doing anything, wether it be work or home. I'm very dependable and can multitask on different areas, sometimes right off but especially when I'm use to doing those certain tasks. I look at how long something might take to complete and the priority of it to manage my multitasking. Anybody that has worked with me and most that I have worked for will tell you that I'm defiantly not a slacker when it comes to getting something done. Myself and others can also say that I am a very hard worker.
