Personal Statement
I am person of order and as a supervisor I dislike sloppiness and disarray. I have found that neatness and organization not only leads to higher productivity, but readily allows another person to step into your position should the need arise. Any business is like a piece of machinery and employees willing to do what it takes to keep the cogs of the machine turning are an asset even if that means cleaning the toilets. I try to be that type of employee.
