My objective is to find a job or career that is fun and challenging. I scored high on the ASVAB, but never did outstanding in school due to the lack of challenge. I am seeking a job that can keep me on my toes and make work both interesting and fun.
Ability Summary
Able to communicate well with most people. Very good with computers, and quick to learn programs. Technical skills are great, but also a fast learner and like manual labor. Knowledgeable in the criminal justice and firearms field. Math and numbers are my strongest point. Great work ethic, and take orders easy.
Authorized to work in the US for any employer
