I am seeking employment due to a company merger and my position being eliminated.
I am a self-motivated individual with a strong desire to be a team member. I work well alone as well as with others. I have a strong work ethic and I deal well with unexpected and unusual demands. I have sound work experience with proven results and enjoy challenges.
I am very dependable and have excellent problem-solving initiatives. I enjoy helping others and find that getting things completed on time is self-satisfying. If you seek an individual that is not afraid to make good sound decisions and protecting the best interest of the company; then I would be that person.
I would appreciate any consideration that you can provide and would welcome the opportunity to provide you with more information should you request it.
