Summary

Good afternoon, I believe I have unique skill sets and abilities that would make me a good fit for the job I am applying for. I have a broad knowledge and back ground of maintenance and mechanical systems but specialized in welding. I am a good craftsmen and take pride in my work because I believe that reflects back onto me. My background in the United States Marine Corps gave me skills for leadership and organization and to quickly think and overcome problems to complete missions. I get along well with the elderly and especially Veterans which I will be working around a lot in a facility such as yours. I know life safety education is a requirement and I have already found the two classes needed to get my certification in that. Thank you for your time and consideration.
