Additional Information
I'm a fast learner and adamant about making everything I do be done with my best foot forward because one thing I don't like is to have my reputation to be tarnished. I'm a hands on learner and I will never leave until the job is done it's some intrinsic feeling I get knowing that the job is finished and the problem is solved; it puts my mind at ease.
