OBJECTIVE
It is my desire to obtain a position that will allow more time with my
family. I am willing to work overtime as required. In October of 2011 I
changed careers after years in the restaurant industry to obtain more time
with my family. I wanted to enjoy more weekends and holidays with my
family. Benefits were another reason that drove my desire to change
careers. Although NTN did provide me with the change in career, they also
work 7 days a week, 12 hours per day more often than not. I enjoy the work
and desire to continue in the manufacturing industry.
