Summary
I have hands-on experience in the electrical field and have plenty of knowledge with hand/power tools. I also have experience in maintenance of machinery and equipment. I like to think of myself as a quick learner, so things I am not familiar with, I could pick up on quickly. I have reliable transportation and have the motive to show up on time, work late, work overtime, and get any job or task done before my workday is done. I am flexible enough to work nights, weekends, and holidays if the need was to arise. I would consider myself determined and dedicated with high morals. I am knowledgeable in reading prints. I do have my OSHA certification and safety is my number one concern. I am currently seeking a career path that allows me to not only showcase my talent in the areas I have excelled and trained in but also learn new things and become a well-rounded employee on any task I am assigned. I am willing to do what it takes to be the best employee for this position. I am a hard-working, dependable individual and I believe I would be an asset to the companies team, if given the opportunity.
