Who You Are
We’re looking for that one of a kind person who will stand out of the crowd of applicants. The type of person who doesn’t sit around and wait for direction, but actually begins projects independently. You feel compelled to take action without requiring additional prompting from managers. If you see a challenge you embrace it head on and you love to test your limits. You’re the first person to volunteer for a difficult task and don’t need much direction. You know how to move past difficulties and find alternative solutions to accomplish your objectives. If you are all of these things and more then we’d love to meet you!
