Vania Rafaela Cerqueira Araujo
My name is Vania Araújo I am sending my resume, in hopes of a job. Before I would just like to let
you know a little about me and my background to better understand my reasoning.
Currently, I am in Portugal, however on my way back to Massachusetts in early October 2014. I am an
American citizen. Lived 18 years in Worcester, Mass. Speak both English and Portuguese fluently. Also
my Spanish is very good. I am very organized, punctual and responsible. Love working with
customers. Absolutely love anything that has to do with customer service.I am willing to work
weekends, nightshirt as well as holidays.
I am a very hard worker. I am a team player, but importantly I fight for everything to work in the best
perfection I do try to give my best in everything that I do.
Please give me a chance. You will not regret it.
Hoping to hear from you,
Vania Araujo
