Professional Summary
I'm a hard worker and given the chance I will prove that and help build your company. I work well with others and pay attention to detail and always finish a job to the end. I took time off after the ending of a 19 year job for personal reasons. I saved for years, so I had plenty of money to do so, so please don't penalize me for not working for a moment. My absence from the work field was for a good cause. I'm ready to dive back in and continue another good career. Please help me in that fulfillment. Thank You, Chad Work Experience
