Summary

I have worked in our family business, John's Country Junction, for twenty years. I am searching for another job due to the selling of our family business. Over the course of my twenty year term, I have learned many things like problem solving, maintaining equipment, self education skills, compliance, managerial skills, and teamwork. My adaption to my work environment has, for the most part, been self- taught, and unguided. I have had to ensure equipment maintenance, correction, and compliance. Furthermore; in repairing equipment, this has lead to reduced down time and lower costs. I have maintained a safe work environment. I have adapted and lead our team to keep a healthy work environment with customers and staff, and most of all, I have built an extremely strong work ethic. I consider myself a leader and willing to learn. I am a quick learner that will adapt quickly. This has been evident throughout my years of operating a business and in what I have learned over the course of my career. I have become very aware of what needs to be done and able to execute the tasks promptly. Lastly, I have registered at Southeastern Technical College to further my education with an Electronics Technology Degree. I am ambitious and hard-working, and ready to be part of Plant Hatch.
