Hardworking person in general I always try to be professional as possible at any job I work at.
I started working at 18 years old for an uncle of mine in Arizona for one year. I came back to California to pursue other job opportunities. I went through a couple jobs before I started working for Best Buy delivering and installing major appliances from high to low end product. I did that for four years straight then off and on till present day. After the four years with Best Buy I worked in a warehouse (fork lift driver) I got certified on the property so I do know to operate a forklift. I then worked as a professional mover from mover to the refrigeration class I took during the summer. Soon after that I got hired as an Appliance Technician I loved the job the work
just not the rate they were paying for a specialty skill was not enough to support my family. I am organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
