Summary

Motivated Painter driven to provide high-quality work.

I am looking to seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.

Reliable employee seeking painting position. Offering excellent communication and good judgment. I worked at Chrysler for 10 years and am looking to get into painting, as being laid off because of Covid gave me time to do some extra things on the side. I started painting my uncles properties (apartments and apartment hallways) and realized I'm pretty good at it and I enjoy doing it.
