I believe I will be a wonderful asset to your company because I am very outgoing and have the potential to keep moving forward. I have been working since I was sixteen years old. I was taught at a young age that being a hard worker will benefit you as a person in the long run. I want to maintain a steady job to gain responsibility and growth. I want more experience in the working world. I believe you never stoop learning, therefore there is always time to learn a new trait.
I have had plenty of experience working with people in all situations. I went from a construction office to the banking world. I have dealt with all type of situations and I always tend to have a polite and friendly attitude. Most importantly I deal with everything in a professional matter. I love to help out in any way possible. I can also translate from English to Spanish. I can read and write in Spanish and am very fluent in the Spanish language. Everything I do I do it with a Smile, which seems to help me out when it comes to dealing with people. I am a very down to earth person, who loves to keep herself busy at all times. I do not like to stand around wasting time on nothing.
In conclusion I would like to take the time to thank you for accepting and reviewing my resume. I know it must be very time consuming but I believe if you do decide to meet with me you will not regret your decision. You will come to see what a wonderful asset to your company I can truly be.
