Summary
If asked my former employers would be glad to have me back. Throughout my time at each company I was able to establish good relationships with my peer and supervisors/managers, along with this I pride myself with my ability to communicate with the teams I have worked with over time. I feel it is very important to put my all into any task that I am provided with in order to maintain a good work ethic and prove that I will be a valuable asset to any company/business that I work for, ensuring that meet the standards for moving up through the ranks if that opportunity shows itself.
