More about me
I have worked for the state for 16 plus years. I started as a cleaner for a local grade school and slowly worked my way up to a Supervisor at a SUNY College in Cobleskill and now I am seeking a Supervising Janitor position. In March of 2024 I went and took the Supervising Janitor Civil Service Test and scored a 75. I am a very hard worker that loves to work independently or in a team. I will not ask my people to do anything that I wouldn't do myself. My favorite saying is "there is no "I" in the work team". I have learned that when you show appreciation to your co-workers it goes a long ways instead of always just the constructive criticism. Both those things are very important to keep in mind when being a supervisor. People tend to looking forward to working when they also get positive feedback on their work. Being I have started at the bottom like everyone else, I have learned from other supervisors and how we were treated and what not and learned from that. I am sure that there is still going to be a lot of more things I will have to learn if I am the chosen one for the Supervising Janitor Position. I am ready to take on the responsibility, spread my wings and come out of my comfort zone to advance into the next level of Supervising. I am looking for long-term employment where I can spend my last 15 years of working for the state and then retire.
