Amanda Williams
Overview
I am a self-driven, motivated and committed professional. I am looking for an opportunity to broaden my scope of knowledge, my exposure to new challenges and to make a lasting contribution to any company with whom I am a good fit.
It is never easy to capture the essence of a person in a short document but perhaps the best way to describe me is outgoing, driven and determined to learn and to grow. I believe that the best partnerships between a company and an employee are when both are working towards a common goal and purpose, which are prepared to make sacrifices for the common good of all and not just one.
I am very determined to give all that I can to any new challenge which may present itself to me in future. The only way to understand my fit for the role you may have is to take 20 min to meet me, to listen to my vision for myself and to see if what I bring can be of value to your company.
Please be so kind to read my employment history and if my skills are what you are looking for then I will be privileged to meet with you and explore the opportunity in your company.
