Summary
My job experience so far in my life has all been in the service industry but I am eager to gain new skills and opportunities working elsewhere. I am very able to adapt myself to any job that presents itself and I take pride in my ability to work hard and see through a job until it is done and done efficiently. I would consider my ability to work with others as one of my best and I am capable of solving any problems or situations that arise at work, whether I am alone or in a group. I believe I would be a valuable asset and worker anywhere I am and I would be very happy to prove this to any employer.
