Also, I have work for Bridgestone Americans for almost a decade. I have worked in development 412 as a master utility. Which gives me the opportunity to learned most of the jobs in 412. With my job experience, I can offer most to this opposition if given the opportunity. I’m very much reliable, I’m willing to learn or listen to any criticism. I do get along with most of my teammates. They also trust me and they also find it very easy to approach or talk to me about anything that bothers them. With all the knowledge that I have gathered over the year working in this department, I do believe I’m the rightful fit for this job.
