After working for the United States Postal Service for several years, I had to make the decision to be a stay-at-home father of three (for the last year and a half). I am now in a position where I'm able to get back into the workforce, and I'm really looking forward to using my strengths and abilities in a fast-paced environment where I can excel.
My naturally empathetic and compassionate personality, along with the skills I've learned in an office setting as a PSE Clerk with the United States Postal Service, has helped me realize that in a fast-paced environment, especially when it involves helping others.
I've always been a naturally empathetic, compassionate, hardworking, and detail-oriented person with a strong work ethic. Most recently, I worked 4 1/2 years running a rural post office, so I have significant experience in an office setting. The experience helped me significantly improve my typing, computer, and organizational skills. I've also learned to pay strong attention to detail, and I have developed exceptional communication skills. I take my work seriously, and I have always worked very well with others.
