Nicholas (Nick) Bass

Fork Lift Driver
Kenosha,WI

Summary

I graduated from high school at Bradford. To get ready to graduate, I had to attend Sylvan for a year to make my skills better. I have always been pretty independent and pretty much grew up on my own. I went to Sylvan Learning Centers in Kenosha to help be get ready to graduate. I had to improve my math and English skills. I have always worked hard and in most of my jobs I have worked independently. My daughter was born 4 years ago and my significant other got involved in problems and left us. I had to take primary custody of my daughter (LaLae). I've had a lot of help from LaLae's grand mother and great grand parents. My grandpa and I refinanced my home a couple of years ago. So, I have provided my daughter a home. I have always been into cars and motorcycles. I buy them, fix them up, and sell them. I am a motorcycle enthusiast. I enjoy working independently and can be trusted to do so once I learn the job. I worked third shift at Olds for two years and because my daughter is now 4, I shifted to first shift. I had to take a $4 an hour cut in my wages so that's why I'm seeking another job. I was at around $25 an hour, and the wage cut makes things difficult for me and my daughter. She attends a special school two days a week for her speech difficulties. I'm looking for a job where I can what I used to make and more. I am also interested in a job where I can grow, improve, and make more money.
