High lights

I have not worked at many companies. However, at all of them I have risen to the hightest position available. This I attribute to a straight forward and honest approach to both subordinates and superiors. Most appreciate the candidness of my input. Hiring and training good employees is my strongest asset. Being an exceptional employee is just who I am. I am not worried about where I start with a company, I know where I am going.
