A Cdl Team Leader
Resume:
Rahim Abdullah
Atlanta, GA 30360
******@*****.***
Objective
This is unlike the resumes you see day in and day out. This resume represents the personal story of someone who brought himself up through childhood adversity to become a professional athlete at the highest competitive level, and whose experience and life story add up to an interview it’s worth your time to schedule.
My objective is to best utilize my unique combination of self-motivation and experience, along with my professional achievements and motivational abilities, supporting personal and professional growth while benefitting a selected organization. This sounds very lofty on paper, but what it means in everyday terms is that I’d like to bring together my personal history, with its hard times and eventual triumphs, and a new professional challenge, so this unusual intersection can benefit an organization while also giving something back to the community I love.
I am an extremely driven, detail-oriented, persuasive team leader by nature, training and experience, and welcome the opportunity to overcome obstacles and achieve great things for myself, and most especially, for my team. If your team’s success is critical to you, you’re someone I’d really like to talk to.
