Summary

I have been trained as a mechanic most of my life, growing up in my father's shop. However, due to varying circumstances I have become proficient in many different areas of the work force. I am intelligent, diligent, and highly adaptable. I am a hard worker who takes pride in completing tasks or projects quickly and to the best of my ability. I always arrive on time or early and, barring important personal matters, I am always willing to stay late. I don't call in sick or provide excuses. Above all, my main goal is to raise efficiency in order to make my employer more money so that I, in turn, am able to make more money and excell in the field.
