Looking For a Career (Rochester NY)
Date: ****-**-05, 11:19AM *************@*****.***
First and foremost I want to thank you for looking at my resume. Second i need to tell you a little bit about me. I was in the military in 2002 and 2003 unfortunately i had to leave and come back to civilian wold. In the past years i have been in construction form frame work to roofing and remodeling homes, then i got in a tow truck which i loved to do. unfortunately there was some management problems and i chose to leave. from there i had some no name jobs form selling random products from vacuums to air and water purification units which i was pretty good at. those companies did not last the recession so i had to find a new job. In hard times i had to deliver Chinese food. I was there for 3 years until I decided to be a truck driver. I left a really good business and a true friend to find my true calling. But 3 trucking companies later i find my self jobless and in pain due to the physical need of the career. i am now just getting back on my feet after falling off my truck. i have been home for the last 4 months trying to work on my knee and it getting there but not there yet. so i am posting my Resume on Craigslist for every on to see, because i am lost i do not have an higher education then high school. i really can't do a physical job, without education or physical part like construction. I do not know what my options are. i need to support a family of five so work at Mc donald's is not going to cut it.i leave you with my resume and if you think I'm a good fit for a job or career in your company please let me know.
Thank you,
Don Wenzel
