FUTURE GOALS
I have enabled myself to become adaptable to a wide variety of positions and duties at work and it is possible that eventually I could transition into a management position. I am open to suggestions that would allow me to accept challenges that would further my career either in the aviation industry or in an entirely new business or trade. I feel it is the nature of a person as they age to strive for something beyond what they have achieved. I have proven myself to be a productive team-mate, who is pleasant to work alongside of. I have very good listening and communications skills. I have good organizational skills and am quite self-reliant. Having learned to research technical data, I can make myself an asset your company would appreciate.
I would like to press on in a polite, friendly, professional, and dynamic field of employment. I would welcome any chance to join a technical writing team or similar pursuit.
