Summary
For the past 5 years I have been a bricklayer where I have had to show good communication skills and a welcoming presence working around colleagues and customers. I would like to use those traits more so I have decided to change my career path and work in a job that’s more sales driven.
I’m determined with strengths in organization,self motivation and time management. I’m known as dedicated team player who can always be relied on.
