• For the past three years, I have been self-employed, providing a variety of services to my local community, including yard maintenance, house painting, landscaping, some irrigation, washing cars, helping people move out and running errands. Through this work, I have developed strong time-management skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently, all of which I believe would translate well into a fast-paced, customer-focused environment. It also taught me to show respect in my work and for other peoples property.
• Talked and worked for upwards of 30 people
• Self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility.
• Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.

I helped move stuff around for the american legion during the parade. They sell food and various items that we had to put out and then we went and handed out several hundred american flags to onlookers of the parade. We were able to make everyone's day better and take some of the work off of the veterans. They paid us in food!

• Did door to door sales for pest control to market their brand. I would do it from 1-8pm constantly meeting new people and trying to convince them to switch to our company. I was able to get several sales in the kennewick area and build a better reputation for the company. However the company had a few of their technicians quit so they shut down because they couldn't have us book anymore appointments. Honesty prepared me for anything though.

• I worked with an independent mechanic who cleaned and detailes cars for a living. I helped him fix an Honda accord, 2 Toyota sports track, and a civic. I mostly did the body work including fixing dents, replacing parts, and doing the usual maintenance like oil filters, transmission filters, tires, a transmission swap etc. Then I worked with a separate mechanic to help my friend rebuild his 73 C10's small block 350 from the ground up.
