HARRY E ALGARD III
Perryville,MD
Summary
I am a person of high energy, high morals and solid work ethic. I believe in never being on time, rather,
being 15 minutes early. I believe not in making sure that “my” job is done, but rather making sure that “the”
job is done. What I mean by that statement is that I am always more than willing to help any and all of my
fellow employees carry out their duties to absolute completion so that the high standard of your business is
upheld. I can work in a fast pace setting while keeping calm, my communication skills are strong. I am a
person who takes the initiative if or when it is to be taken, I never stall or balk at opportunity. I am without
doubt, a team player who can take on any roll whether it be leader or follower, as long as the jobs gets done
and gets done right.
