Summary

I will add some of sides of me. I'm able to speak and understand 3 languages. I can get friendly very quick with team members from any job sites. I'm trying to get my job done as good as it can get but in the same time help if need for my co-workers. Being very reliable on the basic work days without any complaints of not getting to the job site because of a bad mood or something. Ready to work and hard working personality. The two jobs I have left really appreciated me and the time I spend at there location. Always liked the work is being done by me and the pace of the work is being done in any conditions of the work scenario. The two boss is still with contact with me and still have faith of me getting back. I really do not need a lot of time to get use to the job needs to be done and pace of the environment on the site!
