Maurice Barnard

Background

Moreno Valley, CA ***53 adr3rv@r.postjobfree.com 1-951-***-****

I grew up helping my dad in construction and went on to work in warehouses and then factories. I was allowed to do some technician work and machine shop work in the factory. I took a welding class but was not good at arc welding. I went on to electrician school and interning with a control engineering firm. Not finding helper work I went on to work in IT. Wanting to work in control and automation again I went to engineering school but the job placement was poor ( nonexistent really) and I returned to IT. I have placed in the top 1% for technical, mechanical, spacial recognition and creativity including the military test we had to take in high school. I had a keen interest in robots at a young age but was discouraged from it. Lastly, yes I would rather work in IT than in the factory I am currently working in. I am trying to step up my game so to speak
