RESUME
Professional
Info
I have held a steady job since I was 14 years old. I have worked in offices, I have worked outdoors, I have worked alone and with others; and not always humans. I am a hard worker, quick learner, and enjoy strong communication. I can work alone, but prefer to work with others. My dream is to hold a position in communications preferably with a focus on agriculture. Tell me what you need done, and you can consider it so. How can I help you?
