Summary
Driven individual who is seeking to find an entry level job in a new industry. While I have never worked in the cable industry, my years in pest control taught me how to take care of current clients and build a good relationship that made the company look good in the community. My years in ministry type jobs taught me how to deal with difficult people and still build relationships and keep things moving. I look forward for an opportunity to learn new things and grow in your company.
