Summary
As a Veteran I show up to work on time, focused and prepared. I believe I have a unique outlook on how much teamwork can change the outcome of a project due to being on deployment with a team in a position where completing the mission was a must. I say all of this to point out that I am a reliable employee who carries themselves with pride and dedication. I strive to uplift my co-workers to promote a positive work environment and to complete tasks in a timely manner. I always assess every situation carefully to prevent injury to myself or others as taught by the navy's Risk assessment training . To conclude, military service has taught me valuable skills that are necessary to be a valued member of a team such as, higher standards when working to complete a job/task, professionalism, integrity, dedication, and pride in my work. I would love the opportunity to be a part of your team and to grow with your amazing company.
