CURRICULUM VITAE

PERSONAL DETAILS

Let’s be blunt, I’m good at what I do, I have excellent communication skills, I take every task that’s given and make it my own. I work hard and I do everything I can to reach the target. I have a beautiful family which I would give the world if it depended on me. Why am I applying for this job? EASY….. The money, without it…. You can’t do anything, with it, I can support my family… like any other parent I’d like to watch my daughters make even a better life as what I did. All I want to be is a hero among my family. But without your help, this all won’t happen. I’m looking for that special eye to see what I’m really capable of and to see what I’m really worth. Give me a try.
