ABOUT ME
I left the workforce several years ago when my disability began to become more of a part of me than it was. I became both mentally and physically ill which in turn made me weak. This is when I decided to make a stand and not lost it rule my life. Part of my therapy was to get out and get a job so I can get back all the strength that was stripped out of me. (If you wish to know my diagnosis, please feel free to ask)
I am looking for a place of employment who is willing to take the time to properly train me and allows me to learn. I've worked at call centers before as well as retail, electronic installation, high voltage oilfield equipment,fast food and industrial kitchens, so it isn't new to me. I want to get back out there into the workforce as I've been told it can help me gain my self worth back and start the healing process.
