Summary
I have worked doing manual labor jobs since I was 15. I have always been good with people no matter what job I have and am interested in finding a position that will allow me to use that quality more. I have a strong work ethic and can multitask well. I have always been interested in Sales and Marketing and would love to find a career for myself in this industry. I had a rough stretch a couple years ago and past employers won't always have the best things to say about who i was, but i can promise you that it is all in the past and I work hard each and every day to grow and move on from those days. I look forward to the possible opportunity of working with this team.
