My skill levels are strong in the areas of writing concisely and speaking effectively. I am
comfortable initiating speeches of instruction and have been considered an above average
confident speaker for my age. I negotiate and consider the options instead of accepting failure.
I provide the skill of planning and seeking resources far ahead of schedule, but I am more than
capable of initiating a quality last minute plan if necessary. I have skill levels in listening
attentively which has encouraged my character to develop into an effective counselor. I am
dependable, honest, and have never been late for work by choice. I find pleasure in working
with fellow co-workers and have been considered a pleasant gentleman that causes little to no
conflict in the work place. When conflict arises, I approach the issue directly and do not
proceed to create excess conflict in the work place by gossiping and back stabbing. Your
company would inherit a valuable asset if I was considered for this position.

I enjoy hard work that contains a purpose. I was raised to earn something instead of
asking for it. Anyone will tell you that my level of work ethic is beyond anyone else’s
no matter the job at hand. I believe in rejecting the passivity of thinking that I do not
need to work, accepting responsibility no matter the job that is given, lead courageously
when I am appointed to be leader of a project, and expecting the greater reward by
always being honest even if it means losing my job.
