OUTSTANDING JOB COMPLETION, ATTENDANCE, GOING THAT EXTRA MILD
1- Every job I have completed by learning the job capability, being a strong person in directing, following orders and taking orders, listening effectively, completing tasks on a timely manner.
2 - Always on time by going 45 or 30 minutes early to work! Ready to start soon as I get there, never late unless an emergency occurs with vehicle or family matter
3- Going that Extra Mild is a yes for me. I love doing things for others, when staff calls in sick, I steps in and performs their duty; going that extra mile for clients when they need assistance with something. Don't mind pitching in and helping with anything.
