'SAFETY FIRST'
An experienced, well trained, highly motivated professional with strong
communication and time management skills, the ability to work
independently, the capacity to learn new skills, dependable and hard-
working and enjoys a sense of accomplishment. Always maintaining an
awareness and attitude of safety while providing effective, efficient and
timely maintenance support.
I began at the USPS in 1988 as a Mailhandler and moved into the
Maintenance field where I received extensive training, including HAZMAT
and HAZWOPER training, and moved up to Electronic Technician. I also
served as an Acting Supervisor. Training is a constant in this field as
the mail processing machines are always evolving. My skills vary from
electronics to electrical to mechanical. Prior to the Post Office, I had a
great deal of experience in building maintenance, construction, appliance
repair as well as plumbing, painting, concrete work, drywall, roofing,
siding and commercial and residential rough and finish carpentry, even
dishwashing. There is no job too small or challenge to great. After
reading the description for this position, I feel that my training,
experience and positive attitude as well as my commitment to safety and
quality would be an asset to this position.
