RESUME
Joseph Hughes
Ottawa, Ontario K2J 3J2
A competent trainer and educator, Mr. Hughes is seeking full time
employment. After graduating with honours from Carleton University in
Criminology, Joseph completed his TESOL and spent the next 4 years teaching
in China. Working full time in China provided the opportunity for Joseph
to not just experience the culture of China but to better understand the
people, the environment and the sense of well-being that the Chinese people
exhibit. The experience of extensive travel through the Asian continent,
added to the knowledge base that one immerses themselves in when in a
foreign country. Now returning home to Canada, Mr. Hughes is prepared to
use his new found knowledge in a position that will be one of growth but
also one where his skills could best be utilized.
