Summary:
I am seeking to obtain a full time position that offers professional challenges that utilize my skills. I have excellent time management skills and organization skills. I have very little "real world" experience with jobs as most of the jobs I have done have been mostly volunteer, I am willing to learn new skills and put the ones I already have to the test. I will learn and adapt to just about anything you throw at me. I am pretty good with computers, (Microsoft Office, Excel, Powerpoint). The rest I am willing to learn how to use. Everything I do, I make sure to do so with a positive attitude and no procrastination. I have a home office, monitor, hp PC(2024), and a 3 drawer filing cabinet. At the moment I am looking for work from home jobs as I am still actively attending to my grandparents, but if the opportunity presents itself, I would be willing to relocate somewhere in my surrounding area.
