Objective
The majority of my career has been manual labor involving a lot of kneeling, bending and crawling. I
have used those skills to get me through college and to where I am today. However, I worked very hard
to achieve my degree in psychology and I intend to use the knowledge that I was taught. I am a very
punctual, hard working, fast learning individual. I like things in an organized fashion because I think it
gives you a clearer mind to focus on the things that really need attention. I am very personable and well
spoken. With my background in psychology, I have a well rounded knowledge of cultures and beliefs
and am very accepting of any differences or disabilities. I consider myself a very honest person, partly
because I am a terrible liar and would never get away with it. I have a good sense of humor but I also
know when it is time to turn it off and work. I feel like I am a very positive person and always have a big
4. smile on my face. I appreciate your time to read this and hope you think I would be a good addition to
your company.
