Reason For Leaving
CAT - The management came to a point of restricting my growth within the company and with that there was no opportunity to advance or grow my skillset, knowledge, or work base.

Currently the projects for the company being we are Subcontractors has slowed down significantly and the hours/pay are no longer there to consistently survive on. I am seeking a benefits and retirement providing company in the telecom industry for long term/permanent employment to advance my skillset, knowledge, work base, pay, in the telecommunications industry.
