Summary

Exceptional work ethics is of great importance to me. I have always taken great pride in my work, representing my employer to the very best of my ability. I report to my duties on time, with a smile on my face, positive attitude, giving 100% to my job duties. Attendance to my job/employer has always been superb. My driving record is excellent. In my years of employment, I've gained ability to properly handle difficult and/or heated circumstances in a professional manner. During my 41 years of employment, I worked in an office setting, computer/phones. At this time in my life, I am ready for a career change. I enjoy communicating with children and people. It would be an honor to become employed by the Westerville City School district as a bus driver, safely transporting children to and from school.
