Career Objectives
I have always had a passion for helping people and solving problems. I have and continually try to expand my skills through my own practical experiences and research. I am eager to learn and I am open to tackling a range of tasks to a high degree of quality without compromising deadlines. I am a strong team player but also work well independently. I am determined to complete a task as quickly as possible because I do not believe in late or unfinished work. I am diligent and am able to expand my thinking skills to come up with new exciting ideas. I am an open-minded individual who always tries to see the same task from different perspectives before approaching it. I am open to criticism and I am able to work on my weaknesses to ensure that I am constantly improving my talents and abilities. I am able to motivate myself despite the difficulty of a task and I am able to channel all my thoughts and ideas toward one situation in order to make sure I have given 100% of myself and my efforts. I have a passion for crime- related stories and events as well as analysing scenarios and finding possible solutions. I would like to, one day, find myself in a career that benefits others or alternatively solves problems. Previous work experience
