Objective

I would like to obtain full time employment, I need a

change in my life and as the main income provider for our family I

need to find a good job.

Experience

I like working with the public and I deal well with people on a day to day

basis. I am a self-motivator and a quick learner. I have worked in many

fields over the past 30 years, from restaurants, cleaning condominiums,

driving a school bus, building houses, cleaning houses, McDonald's crew

trainer and KFC team member, deli cook in a grocery store, cashier and

deli manager in a small convenience store, and working in

manufacturing plants. I have a versatile background that has provided

many skills that I can apply in many ways.

Though most of my recent experience is in the medical field

as a Certified Nursing Assistant I am ready for a change and

would like to seek employment in other fields.

SPECIAL INTEREST I have gathered extensive information from the Council on Aging, as well as many internet web sites on caring for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia and this is a field of special interest to me. I find this very challenging work yet very rewarding at the same time. With the extra studying I have taken on myself to do I have learned many aspects of making a home safe for these patients on a day to day basis and hope to continue in this line of work and to receive any special

training that may be offered in this field of specialty care.

Though I love this type of work lately I have been finding myself more and more feeling the need to do something different and more interactive with people on a different level. I would like to do something that involves working with people in a field other than health care.
