I moved to the Illinois to be closer to my four year old
daughter. I am currently seeking employment in the area.
I am currently a member of the US Army Reserve. I served my country
both here and in Afghanistan over the past years, I have held numerous
command positions, all of which have been served honorably and with
commendations. Being in a position of authority, certainly when lives are
at stake, I have learned invaluable lessons in communication, interpersonal
relationships, discipline, and an innate ability to adapt to new and
atypical surroundings - all characteristics I hope will enhance my
application in the workforce.
I am a college graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in
History.
I certainly am aware of the scarcity of today's jobs market, and only
ask for the opportunity to present my rare set of uncommon and distinct
skills.
I thank you in advance,
Scott Ian Lefton
