Hi, I’m
Ian Ericksen
Trainee
Newport News,VA
Summary
I am a jack of all trades, looking to start a new career for the foreseeable future. While most of my hard skills besides culinary are, to tell the truth, basic as far as professionals go, I have that basic knowledge in many different areas and most importantly am a quick and dedicated learner. I have a good eye for detail and especially ways to improve efficiency. I am intuitively good with technology and interpersonal skills. I have cared for disabled people, assisted my stepfather in roofing, trained new hires, kept things organized and clean, helped resolve conflicts and create a good team atmosphere, and have an endless thirst for learning new things. Thank you for considering me.
