Summary
I would describe myself as hard working, organized, and willing to learn. I like enjoy learning and take in as much as I can. I like figuring out problems and fixings things. I have always enjoyed vehicles, power sports, and learning the skills to work on them. I know how to use hand tools and power tools. I worked with a family friend doing contracting for an entire summer. We did plumbing and I helped him frame a garage, put up plywood, place siding on the walls, and shingled the roof.
I have been welding at my current job for 3 years now. Almost all of the pieces I weld are hydro-tested for leaks. I am capable of reading blue prints but still have room to learn. I have used blue prints at my current job to build many different items. I believe I would be a great fit to this business. I work well with others, and I am willing to learn new things. I would like a career, not just another job to add to my resume for experience.
