Tempe,AZ
Summary
Reliable employee with overall experience with multiple types of equipment and customer service. I have exceptional work habits including dependability and high work ethic. I work well with other people and am not a complainer.
I enjoy the job I currently have, but it requires me to travel all over the valley and deal with random shifts with no consistency within my work schedule [also seasonal]. Im looking for a job that has a solid daily work schedule so i can achieve a healthier lifestyle [sleep!] and spend more time with my family outside of work. I am an early riser and enjoy getting to work a little early if possible. I also enjoy trying new interesting lines of work.
