Objective

I am a self-motivated person looking to take my skills and career to a higher level. Multi-tasking comes natural for me and I'm no stranger to hard work. I enjoy working with people and servicing the customer is second-nature to me. I am a dependable team player (or leader), with a positive attitude and teachable spirit. I am willing to learn what I do not already know and I am responsible enough to own up to my own mistakes that inevitably happen to all of us on occasion. I am highly organized and have strong computer skills in both Windows and Mac. Again, I am very much a “people person” and usually can handle any customer issue. Customer relations are a very strong point for me. I learn very quickly and am always at work at least 15-30 minutes early every day. “Work” is NOT a Dirty word in my book. Again, I am a hard worker and I am not only willing but excited to be taught anything new as I thrive on knowledge.
