Jake Grimsley

My objective is to secure a position within a company which will put my accumulated skills and experience to work. I am a self-motivated innovative person with great communication skills. I am hard working and reliable.

I have exceptional attendance and punctuality records. I have shown great leadership skills and I am more than capable of being a successful team member. I enjoy working with people from all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities.

I have always enjoyed excellent working relationships with supervisors and colleagues and I work well as part of a team. I am, nonetheless, more than capable of working on my own initiative, and without supervision. I believe that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

I am used to working to tight timescales without it impacting on the quality of my work. In addition to the above, I feel that I have developed many additional skills and attributes that would benefit your organisation. I am methodical in my work and I am not afraid to speak out if I feel that there is a more effective way of undertaking a job.
