Summary
I am very keen to secure a position where I can apply the skills that I have obtained and developed over the years. In my future employment, I hope to obtain a position where I can expand and advance on work ethics and performance. I have the aptitude to work in a team or individually and use my own initiative in carrying out duties/tasks that I am required to perform. I am a fast learner who works well with others and I believe I possess the attributes to complete any required tasks to a high standard.
